XDefiant Is Not Shutting Down, Executive Producer Says, Year 2 Still Planned
After rumors surfaced of a potential shutdown for Ubisoft’s free-to-play shooter XDefiant, the game’s executive producer, Mark Rubin, says the leak is not true and that Year 2 content is still being planned.
The most recent rumor of XDefiant’s suggested turmoil comes from known leaker Shaun Weber, who posted a tweet claiming that the game is “already dead.” Weber elaborated by saying, “Ubisoft research team is actively asking their tester to have another in-house test session and give/repeat their feedback. Multiple sources said that it’s possible that the game will end its support after Season 4 if they can’t get enough players.”
XDefiant’s Mark Rubin has responded to refute the claims by tweeting, “To be crystal clear there are NO plans to shut down after Season 4. I’ve literally been in meetings as of last week to discuss our Year 2 plans.”
