Today Ubisoft had a surprise for lovers of tom clancy sagas, since if a few weeks ago it was thought that a new Splinter Cell game was going to arrive, in reality the surprise has turned out to be a very frantic free to play shooter that will be made up of different characters from the Tom Clancy universe.
Battles between factions with unique characters
The idea of xdefiant is to offer a free multiplayer very focused on gunplay, where players must select factions and characters (Defiants) that will have different abilities and peculiarities. These characters will be inspired by different Ubisoft universes, being able to find some of The Division o Splinter Cell, For example.
The games will be 6 vs 6, and instead of looking for the tactical aspect that has characterized Tom Clancy's games, this time, the Ubisoft San Francisco team has looked for more frenetic and competitive action.
Many customization options
All players will be able to customize their Defiant to adjust the characteristics according to their style of play. In this way, you will have to choose faction, traits, abilities and ultras to configure the character, and then define the weaponry with primary weapons, secondary weapons, accessories and a device to complete the equipment.
What characters can we choose?
As we have commented, the types of characters will be determined by the factions, which will initially be three according to the information shared by Ubisoft, but which will later be expanded with updates and new seasons. The first three to arrive with the game will be the Wolves (Ghost Recon), Echelon (Splinter Cell) and the Outcasts and Cleaners (The Division). We imagine that both the new factions and the weapons that will arrive in the future will complete the offer of payment elements that will be the monetary base of the free to play mode. And it is that as we have already seen in countless games, this modality is becoming the base business of many companies.
Game modes
At the moment the announced game modes are Domination, Team Deathmatch and Escort, although it is most likely that new modalities will appear over time with which to expand the competitive options. Be that as it may, the many maps that will be included will give life to games of all kinds in which the skills of the characters will be key to victory. As we can see in the presentation video, the game runs faster than what we're used to seeing in Tom Clancy's games.
