The final XDefiant content patch is now available.
Executive producer Mark Rubin said the update marked a “bittersweet moment” but was proud of the team “who went above and beyond to create this game and all of its incredible content.”
“Not only has Ubisoft allowed a small team to stay and continue working to release Season 3 content, but we have also been able to add additional content to this release of future seasons,” Rubin explained. “So, we have our Season 3 content plus some of the content from Season 4, 5, 6, 7 and even Season 8.”
The content itself includes three new factions, including the Assassin Creed crossover promised a while ago. The Wolves and Omega Force factions are also available, although they were supposed to be released in seasons four and five, respectively.
“We’re also adding six new arena maps and three new linear maps from future seasons. So, along with the four new maps from season three, there are a total of 13 new maps,” Rubin added. “And I have to say that the team really went all out on these amazing new maps. If you do anything, you should check out the new Rayman map that was going to be part of an epic event in season 4. It even has its own mode with Lum Hunt.”

Players can also look forward to a new experience called Tactics that uses runner-style maps with the new Defuse mode, a “classic 1-life bomb mode,” plus a host of weapons and cosmetics that were supposed to arrive in future seasons as well. .
“All this and more is our final tribute to all the hard-working people who made this game and all the fans who have been with us during this journey,” Rubin added. “Not all journeys end well, but we can all be proud of what we accomplished.
“I wish everyone who worked directly or indirectly on this game the best for their future projects. And the same goes for all the fans who played our game, streamed it, or worked to build the XDefiant community.”
A month and a half after denying reports that it was about to pull the plug on its free-to-play live shooter XDefiant that launched in May, Ubisoft confirmed earlier this month that it is doing just that, resulting in the shutdown of three production studios and 277 employees lost their jobs.
