Ubisoft’s Release Strategy Shifts as XDefiant Server Testing Approaches
In a recent turn of events, Ubisoft has been reevaluating its release strategy following some commercial and critical failures in recent months. The French company, known for popular titles like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, has faced setbacks with games like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Skull and Bones, leading them to reassess their approach to game development.
One clear example of this new strategy is Ubisoft San Francisco’s sandbox shooter, XDefiant. Originally slated for release, the game was recently delayed indefinitely as the studio made adjustments to avoid repeating past mistakes. However, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel as server testing is scheduled to take place on Friday, September 19th.
According to insider sources, the testing will last approximately 12 hours, with the possibility of being extended into the weekend if no major issues arise. The test will be live on PC, Xbox Series, and PS5, as the Xbox One and PS4 versions have been abandoned. If all goes well during the testing phase, the studio plans to announce a new release date for XDefiant.
Fans and gamers alike are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the server testing, hoping for a successful run that will pave the way for a smooth release of XDefiant. Keep an eye out for updates on the game and be sure to mark your calendars for the potential new release date. Are you ready to try XDefiant this weekend?
