XDefiant’s 1st Season to add new Faction, game modes and more

Ubisoft recently held its video game showcase for the Summer, giving us a greater look at the likes of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, alongside a ton of updates for its many live-service titles. One such game was the recently-released XDefiant; the first Season of which has been officially detailed.

Arriving on the 2nd of July, Season 1 of XDefiant has been officially shown off with its biggest addition being the new faction: the GSK from Rainbow Six Siege.

Beyond this, Season 1 will add 3 new maps (Daytona, Clubhouse, and Rockefeller) and 3 new weapons. It is worth noting that the maps will be released one at a time, one month apart, with more concrete details to come closer to launch – on the 1st of July to be specific.

Finally, the team also confirmed that Ranked Play will get a full release with Season 1, as well as the addition of Capture the Flag – a must-have for multiplayer shooters such as XDefiant.

XDefiant has had a fairly successful launch so far, but with Season 1 on its way, it’ll be interesting to see what consensus is formed when the update arrives early next month.
