FULL STORY
======================================================================

Last nights Ubisoft Forward broadcast gave us our first real look at the 
first season of live-service content for XDefiant and its shaping up to be a 
pretty substantial update. 

Most importantly, season one will introduce a whole new faction, GSK, who 
hail from Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Siege . They will join the five existing 
factions, taking the total number in the game up to six. A brief reveal 
trailer, which was posted to the official XDefiant X / Twitter account during 
the show, hinted at some of the new factions potential special abilities. We 
saw a GSK operator wielding a large riot shield that was equipped with a 
flashlight capable of stunning foes and, later on, some deployed barbed wire 
was visible on the ground. 

On top of the new faction, the arrival of season one will see the release of 
three new maps that are set to be added on a monthly basis. The maps are 
Clubhouse, Daytona, and Rockefeller. The addition of Clubhouse continues the 
broad Rainbow Six Siege theme of the season, being a popular competitive map 
in that game. These maps come alongside a new capture the flag game mode. 

Three new weapons are on the way too, with the trailer showing a new 
bolt-action sniper rifle in action. Season one will mark the introduction of 
ranked progression, allowing players to earn rewards from ranked play. There 
were hints of some of the new skins that are going to be added, including 
what appears to be a Skull and Bones inspired rifle complete with its own 
rigging and miniature wheel. 

Of course, season one will also include the introduction of a new battle pass 
to work your way through. It's slated to launch in full on July 2, 2024. 

A free-to-play crossover shooter, XDefiant is currently available for Xbox 
Series X , Xbox Series S , PlayStation 5 , and PC. To celebrate the 
broadcast, those who log in and play a match in the next 48 hours will unlock 
three free Eruption weapon skins so make sure to collect those if youre an 
avid fan. You might also like... Star Wars Outlaws preview: set to deliver a
