Revealed at the Summer Games Festival, Ubisoft’s new shooter XDefiant will launch this summer. However, as September approaches, that date looks increasingly unlikely. Additionally, in the latest update posted by executive producer Mark Rubin, it appears the game’s release has hit some snags. It all hinges on the certification process, which didn’t go smoothly on the studio’s first try. “We started the process in late July, and by mid-August we had the first results, which were a failing,” Rubin wrote. “We realized at the time that there was more compliance-related work than we expected. If it passed, then we would be able to ship by the end of August. But it didn’t, so we spent 3-4 weeks sorting those out. issue and is preparing to submit again. A mid-to-late September release is still possible, but Rubin is preparing fans for a slightly significant delay. “We hope to submit to first parties in less than 2 weeks,” Rubin said. “If it comes through cleanly, then we might look at mid- to late-September for release. However, in one possible scenario, we were given a conditional pass, which means we have to do a day 1 patch and make some final fixes to ensure compliance. If we do need to do a day one patch, this will push our date back to early/mid October. Rubin still seems confident in the game, though, and this seems like a fairly routine and minor setback compared to some of the bigger delays we’ve seen in recent weeks. Will you be playing XDefiant when it launches?
