The server test session will be available for all players on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, with pre-loads currently available.
"After this short test, we expect to be able to lock a launch date and start sharing more about the exciting content XDefiant has to offer in the future," Ubisoft says.
The multiplayer shooter's development is allegedly in limbo, with higher-ups at Ubisoft attempting to imitate Call of Duty.
Following the multiplayer shooter's recent delay, Ubisoft has confirmed that it's still due out this fiscal year.
There is currently no confirmed release window for Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play competitive shooter XDefiant.
XDefiant is a free-to-play competitive shooter that will feature characters from Ubisoft's other action-oriented franchise.
Executive producer Mark Rubin says that depending on how the multiplayer shooter's submission process goes in the coming days, it could launch anywhere between mid-September and mid-October.
Executive producer confirms the multiplayer shooter is currently "in the process of getting approved by first parties."
Based on feedback for the recent Open Session, Ubisoft has announced that XDefiant won't be available on last-gen consoles at launch.
Servers and parties have faced issues, which Ubisoft continues to investigate. Currently, "brief" match disconnects are expected.
Executive producer Mark Rubin also confirmed that Year 1 of the launch would include four new factions and 12 new weapons and maps.
"Something that’s really important is the fact that this isn’t just a one and done title," says Ubisoft's Patrick Price.
Here's what you can expect in the form of post-launch content support from XDefiant's future seasons.
Ubisoft has released a host of new trailers for its multiplayer shooter XDefiant, showing off various aspects of the game.
Closed beta starts on April 13th and includes four playable factions, four modes, 13 maps, an exclusive reward track and Ranked Mode.
While Casual matchmaking is ping-based, they'll be balanced after lobbies are made based on hidden MMR to ensure "a fair chance to win."
The Wolves have also been renamed to the Phantoms and the Outcasts from The Division 2 have been temporarily removed, as per insider Tom Henderson.
Invitations for a new set of tests have been sent to "select registrants" on PC who will go hands-on with features that are still in development.
The free-to-play mutiplayer shooter received plenty of backlash upon announcement for not fitting with the "Tom Clancy" branding.
The two maps are based on locations from Ubisoft Massive's The Division series, and offer a variety of elevations and cover.
"There are discussions on other stores having the game post-launch, but nothing has been determined as of yet," says Ubisoft.
Matches are 6v6 with Domination, Escort, Team Deathmatch and Escort confirmed. Ubisoft also noted that more tests would be "coming soon."
The free to play multiplayer FPS sees four factions battling it out in competitive PvP modes with different weapons and abilities.
A crossover Tom Clancy game has been previous leaked, which will supposedly incorporate elements of Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division.
A new leak has spilled the beans on an unannounced Ubisoft project. Allegedly early in development, the game is unlikely to be announced at E3.
