#XDefiant is over, but thanks to a fantastic team, we showed everything we had! My first officially released maps, and the player feedback is the best Christmas gift. I had the chance to be the level designer on the Enchanted Forest & Killstar Temple #leveldesign#gamedev 1/2
๐Ropuka's Idle Island is out!๐
We are happy to finally share with you our playable desktop sticker. Take care of the little frog who tends to his garden (takes frequent naps ๐ด) while you work or relax.

Hello Everyone,
So here it is! Our last content patch for XDefiant. Itโs obviously a bittersweet moment but I just want to say how proud I am of everyone on this team that did everything they could to make this game and all of its amazing content.
Ubisoft has not only allowed a small team to stay on and continue working to get our Season 3 content out the door, but weโve also been able to add some extra content to this release from future seasons. So, we have our Season 3 content plus some of the content from Season 4, 5, 6,7 and even Season 8.
We are adding 3 new factions this patch with the Assassinโs of course that was planned for Season 3 but also Wolves and Omega Force from Seasons 4 and 5 respectively.
We are also adding 6 new Arena Maps and 3 new Linear Maps from future seasons. So along with the 4 new maps from Season 3 thatโs a total of 13 new maps. And I have to say the team really went all out on these amazing new maps. If you do anything at all, you need to check out the new Rayman map that was going to be part of an epic event takeover in Season 4. It even has itโs own mode with Lum Hunt.
Weโve added a brand-new experience called Tactical that is all about corridor style maps with the first mode in that experience called Defuse; a 1-life classic Bomb mode.
Weโve added the ability to play against Bots in a way that would have allowed players to warm up or just chill out with less pressure but still gaining XP.
There are a few new weapons that were supposed to come in future seasons as well. Along with new cosmetics that have all been unlocked for everyone. There is new progression mechanics with Faction Mastery and Badges that the community would have to come together to discover how they all can be earned.
All of this and more are our last tribute to all of the hard-working people that made this game and to all of the fans who have been with us through this journey. Not all journeys end well but we can all be proud of what we accomplished.
I wish everyone who worked on this game directly or indirectly the best for their future endeavors. And the same goes for all of the fans who played our game, who streamed it, or who worked to build the XDefiant community.
Thank you all!
Mark

To be crystal clear there are NO plans to shut down after season 4. I've literally been in meetings as of last week to discuss our Year 2 plans. But, right now we are super focused on improving the technical experience (which includes netcode) and adding more content for Seasons 3 & 4. We have done very little marketing so yes our numbers are down but that is just to give the team the time to get the game in a better place before we do bigger spends on marketing to bring new players to the game and to bring back players that have left.
