It's their Valorant. Also F2P.

Looks pretty good for what it is. It's basically an outdoors Siege. Siege with larger levels? Slightly more sci-fi guns and powers? These are the only differences I can see between them.

Tom Clancy’s XDefiant is a free-to-play, fast-paced arena shooter that combines intense gunplay with personalized loadouts and specialized factions, as teams of gunfighters – called Defiants – battle for domination.

The first test starts on August 5 for PC players in the US and Canada.

About Tom Clancy’s XDefiant:

PERSONALIZED PLAYSTYLE: Personalize your Defiant to match your playstyle. Choose your faction, traits, abilities, and ultras. Select from an arsenal of primary and secondary weapons, attachments, and a device to complete your loadout – then tweak it on the fly to adapt to an ever-changing battlefield.

COMPETITIVE CLASHES: Tom Clancy’s XDefiant offers a variety of competitive 6v6 arena and linear game modes, such as Domination and Escort. Combine that with a large pool of uniquely designed maps in rotation and no two matches will feel the same.

DIVERSE FACTIONS OF DEFIANTS: Wolves, Outcasts, Cleaners, and Echelon factions battling across iconic locations is just the starting point. We’ll keep adding to our cast of Defiants as the game evolves, drawing on a range of characters and abilities from the Clancy universe and beyond.


The first closed test is for PC in North America on August 5. Sign up here: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/xdefiant

I signed up on the Spanish site.

I put it on the schedule. If anyone can get in and stream a bit, that'd be nice. Or just impressions if you can't stream.

I removed this from the schedule because I saw a video that said the major modes are like CoD with infinite respawns. The footage didn't look terribly inspiring either, but I still would have been excited for it over the 6v6. With respawns though I couldn't care less. It does sound like there will be at least one mode without respawns, but it also sounds like no one will be playing it, as with Overwatch. So I'll be keeping an eye out for that, but I won't get my hopes up.

This is the video I watched. He talks about the respawns and the CoD similarities in the first few minutes.
