You can find all the information you need to know about the next season of XDefiant on this page. We have details on the new content, the new Battle Pass, and we'll tell you when we expect the game to release.
XDefiant is a free-to-play shooter, and so (as you would expect) it uses a seasonal format to release new content. Every three months we get a new season in XDefiant, and this includes a new faction, three new maps, three new weapons, and a new Battle Pass.
You can find all the information about the next XDefiant season below.
XDefiant Season 1: Release Date
We don't yet have an official release date for XDefiant Season 1, but we expect it to arrive a month after release. The game was originally supposed to launch in August, but had to be pushed due to issues with getting the game on consoles.
This was revealed by executive produer Mark Rubin, who said that the game is now set to launch somewhere between mid-September and late-October. So we expect season 1 to launch in November at the latest.
XDefiant Season 1: Content
The creators of XDefiant spoke about the game at Ubisoft Forward in June 2023 and revealed that each new season would bring a new faction, three new weapons and three new maps. There might be more content, but this is all we could confirm so far.
XDefiant New Season Faction
XDefiant's first post-launch Faction has been code-named "Ruby". However, we don't yet know the Ubisoft franchise they will be derived from, or whether they will be wholly new, but we're keeping our fingers crossed for Skull & Bones!
XDefiant New Season Weapons
We're getting three new weapons, although at the moment we don't know what they are. If we had to guess, we would say one AR, one SMG, and then something random like a new sniper or shotgun.
XDefiant New Season Maps
One of the best things about XDefiant is the maps. They're vibrant, well-structured, and diverse. And, the best news is still to come, we get three new maps every season. It's a lot of work for Ubisoft, but it's what a game like this needs. Sadly, we don't have any official details on the Season 1 maps yet. Although, if you want to check it out, here are the current XDefiant maps.
XDefiant Season 1: Battle Pass
Of course, a new season means a new Battle Pass. If this is (somehow) your first time coming across one of these allow us to explain.
Every season they will release a new Battle Pass for 10 dollars. You have the length of the season, three months, to level up the Battle Pass to level 90. At each new level you get a new cosmetic reward. So if you play loads, you can get 90 rewards for 10 dollars. Simple.
And that was all the info we have for you so far on the new season of XDefiant. We will update this page as soon as new information becomes available.
Let's hope this nonsense stays out of XDefiant:
