All upcoming XDefiant game modes: Leaks hint at Capture the Flag, S&D, more on the way UbisoftXDefiant launched with five game modes in total, though plenty more appear to be in the works already. From a Capture the Flag playlist to a mirror of CoD\u2019s ever-popular Search and Destroy, here\u2019s what we know according to a range of leaks. When it comes to any FPS game worth its salt, you\u2019ll often find a number of core game types across the board. Domination has been a staple in the genre for years now, as has the likes of Team Deathmatch, but devs often get quirky and add some unique innovations into the mix as well. With XDefiant, Ubisoft launched the game in full on May 21, 2024, with five game modes available in the Preseason phase. Domination, Hot Shot, Occupy, Escort, and Zone Control were all available right out of the gate, though it appears this is merely a small fraction of what\u2019s on the way. Several leaks, largely plucked from the game\u2019s code, have hinted at a wealth of additional modes on the way to XDefiant, many being incredibly popular in the FPS genre. Upcoming XDefiant game modes While nothing has yet been confirmed for the future of XDefiant, we do know new game modes will be drip-fed over the course of the game\u2019s first year on the market. Exactly what order those modes release in is still anyone\u2019s guess for now, but we do have an early idea of what to expect. Among the earliest teasers, XDefiant\u2019s Executive Producer Mark Rubin confirmed a Search and Destroy-style, \u201c1-life bomb mode\u201d is indeed in the works. Reaffirming exactly that, prominent dataminer \u2018AgainTx\u2019 found evidence of a mode by the name of \u2018Bomb Defusal\u2019 in the game\u2019s code. Beyond that, little else has been teased directly by the devs, but datamines have outed at least seven more game modes already in the works for XDefiant. Do take the following with a grain of salt as plans can always change during development and nothing is set in stone until confirmed by official sources. But for now, AgainTx has found mention of the following modes in XDefiant\u2019s code: Team Elimination – Team Deathmatch – Juggernaut – Bomb Defusal (S&D) – Infection – Capture The Flag – King of The Hill – Naturally, many of these are staples in other FPS titles and shouldn\u2019t come as a huge surprise. Though just when we\u2019ll see them in XDefiant is unclear for now. It\u2019s likely we\u2019ll see at least one new addition per season moving forward, perhaps as permanent additions, or as rotating playlists cycling in and out. For now, we\u2019ll have to wait and see exactly what the XDefiant team has in store, but rest assured we\u2019ll update you here with further details as they emerge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
