11/23/2023 0 Comments Xdefiant battle royaleMoreover, Tom Clancy's son Thom Clancy, a cool guy who sells books and streams on Twitch (and says he isn't affiliated with Ubisoft at all), thinks XDefiant looks fun. Now the popularity of straight-laced military fare has fallen in favor of more colorful, personality-driven worlds, and Ubi is bringing the name it bought along for the ride. It's important to remember that Clancy had no involvement in most of the series that bear his name, including the three games XDefiant is using for its classes- Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division. Considering Ubisoft teased the announcement by saying a new Tom Clancy game is in the works, the reveal of a very un-Clancy game stung even harder. Many fans feel burned by Ubisoft for slapping Tom Clancy's name. Looks similar to when it comes to team abilities, but mostly being able to run and gun solo," said Second Nature on ResetEra. "Terrible name, but I'm completely onboard a f2p, fast-paced arena shooter. Players can jump into a match as a Echelon spy straight. On a serious note, XDefiant looks a bit generic. Ubisoft’s XDefiant is an arena shooter with a familiar cast drawn from the publisher’s array of shooter and action-adventure franchises. You don't have to look far on Reddit threads or gaming forums to find folks unenthused by Ubisoft's next leap into free-to-play multiplayer shooters, especially after Ubi's battle royale game Hyper Scape came and went last year with little fanfare. The most common reaction has been one of general skepticism. XDefiant's art style is different enough and you cannot confuse it with Apex Legends, Overwatch, or Valorant, but a dude with the gas mask can be seen in the key art. There is no shortage of colorful shooters out there nowadays. Others compared it with the kids television network DisneyXD. Collin MacGregor over FanByte, pointed out that XDefiant sounds like some kind of cheap antivirus software that comes stock on a Dell laptop from 2009. Ubisoft's ridiculous name has been the subject of many internet reactions since the reveal. It has got character abilities, customizable loadouts, a fast time-to-kill, and the early gameplay looks much fun. With ongoing support, it’s intriguing to think about what other Ubisoft worlds could feature in this live shooter, especially if the community really gets behind it.Ubisoft announced a new multiplayer FPS this week and this time, Ubisoft is taking aim at Call of Duty with a free-to-play 6v6 arena game with classes based on other Tom Clancy properties. XDefiant is promising a strong lineup of content from day one, but promises that new maps, modes, factions and limited time experiences with each season, scheduled for every 3 months. Hot Shot sounds like one of the more unique additions, where you pick up bounties dropped by fallen enemies, and the player with most bounties gets score multiplier and buffs, but you show up on the map as a target for others to take down. Game modes are what you’d expect from a classic shooter of this style Domination and Occupy are variations on taking and holding territory, while Escort and Zone Control give the attacker and defender roles. Maps are also inspired from the games, like post black Friday New York from the Division, a fishing village from Yara in Far Cry 6, and a mix of original settings too like amusement parks, playgrounds, and research facilities with upper and lower floors to add some verticality into the mix.
