As per Insider Gaming, workers at Ubisoft San Francisco are reportedly "pessimistic" about the game's future. This is because player numbers have "declined rapidly" since the launch of XDefiant just a few short months ago.
Worse yet, it's not just the future of the game itself that's being questioned here. Recently, Ubisoft San Fran suffered major layoffs - and the team is seemingly preparing for more of that in the coming months. Here's one of the direct quotes within the report, from an unnamed developer:
The report goes on to say that the higher ups within Ubisoft at large are "betting" on XDefiant Season 3 turning things around, but with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launching before that content drop, the team is going to have some stiff competition in the FPS world towards the end of the year.
Of course, this is all reported information at the moment, and we haven't heard anything from Ubisoft on the future of XDefiant. Either way, we hope that those who've worked hard on developing the title keep their jobs and continue to make great games for us all to enjoy.
