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.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Season 1’s content? What other game modes would you like to see added? How many Seasons do you think the game will get in its lifetime? Let us know down below.
