![]() ![]() "Terrible name, but I'm completely onboard a f2p, fast-paced arena shooter. Less common, but still definitely out there, are the folks like me that are always willing to try the newest FPS on the block. ![]() Instead of slow-pan shots of a soldier holding a laser shield, we get brief glimpses at what looks like really fluid combat. In fact, the glimmer of potential I keep coming back to is the small snippets of gameplay that Ubisoft shared with the press. What I want to know is why XDefiant's shooting (a subject executive producer Mark Rubin kept bringing up) feels better than what's out there. Bubble shields and flamethrowers are well-worn territory in FPSes. I do agree that Ubisoft's reveal trailer focused on all of its least original ideas. "I love me some GAAS, but this looks very very uninspired," user Ghost of Jhoto said in the trailer's ResetEra thread. A common sentiment is that, even without the funny name, XDefiant looks a bit generic. You don't have to look far on Reddit threads or gaming forums to find folks unenthused by Ubisoft's next leap into free-to-play multiplayer shooters, especially after Ubi's dedicated battle royale game Hyper Scape came and went last year with little fanfare. The most common reaction to my eye has been one of general skepticism. And before that, remember Brink? I guess Splash Damage was mixing punk rock and shootouts long before Ubisoft. XDefiant's art style is different enough that I don't think anyone will genuinely confuse it with Apex Legends, Overwatch, or Valorant, but I saw that dude with the gas mask in the key art and instantly remembered that Dirty Bomb was a thing. On social media, users have been comparing this potential new mode to something like Smash Bros’ World of Light.Īre you excited for more single-player content making its way into Mortal Kombat 1?įor more Insider Gaming news, check out our coverage of the latest Escape From Tarkov wipe.There is no shortage of colorful shooters out there nowadays.

Nothing else was really revealed from the image posted by user ‘DeffersonCamargo’ on Reddit, but the reveal of this potential new mode is certainly something to get excited about. Of course, that doesn’t confirm battle passes or season passes, but where there are seasons… However, the ‘Invasions’ mode that has allegedly been leaked on the back of the game case clearly indicates a seasonal operating model for the mode. It has been said for a while, predominately by Ed Boon, that Mortal Kombat 1 won’t feature battle passes, with NetherRealm steering away from the live service model. On the case, we see something named ‘Invasions’, and the blurb beneath the promotional image speaks of a seasonal single-player mode that will see players traverse the ‘Kingdoms of Mortal Kombat’. Most recently, one Redditor took to the social media platform to reveal what’s reportedly a picture of the back of the Mortal Kombat 1 game case – in Brazil. There’s little more than a month left until the release of Mortal Kombat 1, and information is starting to surface left, right, and centre about the game. ![]()
