In about two days (June 3), Ubisoft’s recently launched game, XDefiant, will be permanently closed down. You might already know that Ubisoft has been facing some difficulties lately. Titles like Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed, which were once reliable hits for the company, have had their ups and downs in recent years. Additionally, most of Ubisoft’s attempts at live service games have not been successful, with Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege being the exception. Recently, they’ve also had several high-profile misses such as Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and even Assassin’s Creed Shadows didn’t generate the expected excitement. However, what stands out is XDefiant, which they released last year but removed from sale in the same year. In two days, on June 3, its servers will be shut down.
It’s not something new, but rather a heads-up: We’ve known about this date, December 3, 2024, for quite some time. The reason is that after the game servers shut down, it will become unplayable forever. So, for those who wish to keep playing or even try the first-person shooter for the first time (if it’s in your library because it hasn’t been available for download from digital stores since December 3 of last year), you have just two more days left.
Although XDefiant didn’t completely bomb with no players at all, its player count relative to the amount spent on developing and maintaining the game raised questions about its success. Given this comparison, Ubisoft’s decision to cancel the game swiftly, despite initial expectations that it might challenge Call of Duty, comes as little surprise.
While there’s no absolute certainty that XDefiant will reappear in the future, it seems extremely improbable due to both past events and Ubisoft’s current priorities. Given their need for immediate success and the questionable track record of reviving games that previously failed, it seems more likely they will focus on new projects.
