Just a few days ago, Ubisoft held a public test session for XDefiant that had anyone with a capable PC play the game before release post the beta. One of the things some players have noticed is how the XDefiant movement speed seems to have been adjusted compared to the beta.

If you played the beta and thought the movement speed and whatnot was fine, you’ll be glad to know that the movement wasn’t adjusted or even touched at all. This was confirmed by XDefiant Executive Producer Mark Rubin, who went on Twitter to confirm this bit of info.

In addition to that, Rubin also confirmed that XDefiant will use Google servers, which apparently doesn’t cover South Africa currently (a bummer for would-be XDefiant players in the area).

It’s refreshing to see how Rubin has been quite active in engaging with the community in answering concerns about the game. Let’s just remember that we don’t need to be a pain in the ass when talking to devs and people connected to the game. I mean, this is also why some game devs would rather not interact with game fans given the hostility.

In other XDefiant news, Rubin has also shared that they have content for XDefiant planned for “man years to come.”

XDefiant still has no firm release date yet, but per the devs, is expected to be released in the first half of October.
