A senior staff member behind the continually-delayed Ubisoft shooter XDefiant has denied a report which claimed the game’s late launch was due to developers “chasing Call of Duty”.
Writing on social media platform X, XDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin – who previously held the same position at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare studio Infinity Ward – addressed a new Insider Gaming report that claims the game’s developers are becoming creatively frustrated by demands they must “copy” features found in Call of Duty.
“Just FYI, nothing about our delay is due to any new features,” Rubin wrote. “In fact not much has changed from a gameplay standpoint. The delay has been due to the tech issues we’ve talked about.”
