XDefiant’s executive producer, Mark Rubin, has responded to player requests by confirming the addition of two highly sought-after features and game modes. Soon, players can look forward to a Search and Destroy-style experience and the inclusion of killcams. Although the journey to launch has been longer than anticipated, Ubisoft’s latest online shooter is now live and making waves within the Clancyverse. XDefiant has swiftly gained popularity, becoming Ubisoft’s fastest game to reach one million unique users within 48 hours of its release.
As a live service game, XDefiant will undergo continuous evolution. The game has entered its Preseason phase, allowing players ample time to familiarize themselves with its mechanics. Ubisoft remains dedicated to enhancing the experience, evidenced by the recent release of Update 1. This update addresses the frustrating hit registration issue and reinstates the Practice Zone, providing a stress-free environment for fans to experiment with various weapons and abilities.
Looking ahead, Season 1 is scheduled for release in the summer, promising new game modes and features. Ubisoft is actively working on further improvements and additions, ensuring a dynamic and engaging experience for players.
Mark Rubin, XDefiant’s executive producer known from his time at Infinity Ward, has been actively engaging with the community on social media platforms, discussing the game and interacting with fans. With the game now launched for all players, Rubin’s social media presence has become even more pronounced, as he shares upcoming plans from Ubisoft and addresses player inquiries.
As XDefiant garners comparisons to titles like Call of Duty, players are eager for features and game modes that aren’t currently available. One highly anticipated mode, Search and Destroy, seems to be in development. Rubin recently confirmed its existence, stating that XDefiant’s version, called 1-Life Bomb, is in progress, although a specific launch date is yet to be determined.
Killcams are indeed coming to Ubisoft’s XDefiant, as confirmed once more by Mark Rubin in response to a fan query on social media. Rubin mentioned that the team is actively “working on it,” although specific details such as a release date were not disclosed. The anticipation among fans for this feature has been high, especially considering the popularity of killcams in games like Call of Duty. Killcams not only reveal what went awry in a given moment but have also been instrumental in catching potential cheaters in action.

The introduction of the killcam feature is poised to become a crucial addition for XDefiant moving forward, especially considering its status as a free-to-play title that has attracted a share of undesirable hackers and cheaters. While cheating is a prevalent issue in many F2P games like Call of Duty: Warzone and The Finals, XDefiant has taken proactive steps to address this challenge by implementing the BattlEye anti-cheat system, a proven measure utilized in games such as Rainbow Six: Siege. However, despite these efforts, some individuals have found ways to circumvent these protections, leading to reports of aimbotting and the emergence of websites offering specific cheats tailored for XDefiant.
