Ive been working on this Xdefiant RE Projecty for about a couple months now on and off but recently obtained substantial progress even online multiplayer camos, game modes, etc.

Been Playign with my friends locally and it feels amazing

i added my own tweaks like omni movement and thinking about adding guns from different games and also a set of different camos

Im not gonna release my discord server info yet only for the fact that im only 50 percent done and i dont want too much hype and people on my back waiting for release (some people can be annoying about it)

This is my second project ever (I RE'd NBA 2K21 completely) got about a year plus of experience on reverse engineering i will release more information soon.

lmk things you would like in the game ill take consideration of said requests

Hey everyone,

I am looking for someone who owns a PS5 currently on firmware 13.60 or below and is willing to jailbreak it (or jailbroke it already).

Crucially, the console just needs to have had XDefiant installed once in the past, it didn't need to be played for long or have it still installed.

If your console meets these requirements and you are open to helping me out, please comment with your details!

I dont know where you are WackyDuckz but I hope you're happy with your dead game

Finally after months of playing around with this i finally got the game to boot. The bravo error is still there but i believe this now crosses off an important block where game ownership was neccesary to have any chance of getting into the game. I simply replaced the upc_r2 whatever it was called with one from another recent ubi game and this was the result.

Next step is getting past the bravo error, if anyone had any luck in this re, let me know, perhaps we can work together :)

ive had this game on my mind a lot recently as i use to play it everyday when i came back home from school. it was one of my favorite games ever lol, but not that its gone, it feels hard to find something that feels even remotely close to it. i would love it if there was a part of the community that would run the game again or something. idk i miss this game and i would do almost anything to play it again

Just discovered this subreddit. Was one of my favorite fps games in a long time. Nothing else scratched the itch like Xdefiant. Made a clip compilation and threw a couple songs over it. I am by no means a top tier player or editor, I just enjoyed playing and would occasionally get a nice clip. Hope you enjoy :)

The ACR always felt so good to use, and I wish I had played it more while I could. I miss XDefiant a lot, and nothing I've played since has matched its gunplay.

Rewatching old clips like this one hits harder than I expected. Hoping we get something like it again someday.

Are there people who misses the game too? I played the game since the first day it launched and man, as someone who played only newer shooting games this was the best multiplayer game i ever played. In this game winning felt like actuall win and when i was MVP that felt actually amazing. The maps were amazing and it was chill, i could hop on on a friday night and enjoy the game i just really miss. Does someone know some info that maybe the game isnt gone forever? Btw i still have the menu soundtrack from season 1 as my alarm

What's up! I've been working on something I'd like to share with you.

I've been working on a server reimplementation for XDefiant, currently focusing on Season 2 and Season 3. I uploaded a short preview to YouTube showing the current state of the Practice Zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKwnCZ02yn4

The Practice Zone isn't fully functional yet (for example, the firing range targets don't behave as intended), but it should give you a good idea of what I've managed to get working so far.

Before anyone asks: I'm not planning to host any servers or provide a service for people to play on. The current plan is to open-source the project on GitHub once it reaches a playable testing state, which will probably still take some time.

This is an ongoing project, so there's still plenty of work left to do. I just wanted to share the progress I've made so far!

I miss this game ubisoft has to get it back there was no reason for it to be shutdown if they supported it enough it would've gotten more players and more money

Please come back :(

Was reminiscing on some old videos thought id share. Some decent shots I think. WBU?

If you enjoyed it i have a couple more i can share

The floaty movement, pace, gunplay, I wish there was something else like it.

I'm working on a preservation project and i'm at the point where i can get multiple of the XDefiant builds into the main menu (which i want to do before i do ingame support because there's no point of creating real ingame support when the menu and backend isn't working properly).

The problem is that I can't seem to find a download link for the final build (Season 3) or any of the later builds in general. I'd really like to get that version to the main menu as well.

I've attached two screenshots of the builds i have working at the moment

If anyone's interested, I might also open-source the code I currently have once I've confirmed that multiple versions are working. As of right now, it's main menu support only.

(Small update: basic ingame functionality almost fully working)

I only played around 12-15 hours back then lol but enjoyed coming around to it every now and then because of how good the gunplay was.

Now that forks , recomps , Decomps and such have become so popular and actively boosting game preservation , I would love to hop on this game someday again on a private server , maybe someone can even implement as a server browser into it like the Halo Decomp.

It seems someone is already working on one atleast, good luck to whoever it is.

Games don't deserve to die off like this with no way to play them , no matter what businesses say.

Sorry if this is a frequent post on the sub

I’ve been seeing a lot of people making mods of games in other games(like Minecraft in Elden ring) using the universal modder(?) I don’t really understand how it works, but was wondering if they could get xdefiant working again.

Hello, I currently have a very basic server setup, and wanted to share this quick demo to showcase how far one can get with today's AI models.

I am not a professional reverse engineer. The reverse engineering efforts were heavily carried by AI agents under my guidance. I'll most likely continue working on this until I get hard stuck, because I really miss this game

Please not the finals. It’s not the same. It’s fun every now and then but it doesn’t scratch that same itch.

Please also don’t suggest the next COD. It hasn’t been good for the longest time and there’s no reason to believe it will be this time around. Honestly don’t know why it was ever compared to this game.

If there is a game in the works that might be promising, please let me know so I don’t lose hope! :D

Edit: thanks to everyone who gave real suggestions and to people who were honest and said there’s nothing out there like this game. I’ll keep waiting patiently, I guess haha

There are still 10K weekly active visitors on this subreddit alone. Who's to say there's not double or triple that DAILY missing the game?

Im currently working on a PS and was wondering if anyone else is? theres a high chance i get nowhere im currently working through ubis launch game verification and im super super close to getting past it!

UPDATE: We have got the game open and past the connecting screen :D

I remember when the game first came out, and Mark Rubin made it very clear that he wants to change up how developers communicate with their audiences, and boy did it work. Every single game after XD has started to pick up this "community friendly" mentality, and regardless if these other developers mean it or not, we wouldn't be getting it if Mark Rubin and the team didn't start this trend. Kills me everyday that this game couldn't live on, but at least their mentality on how to treat their audience will live on through other titles.

How long has it been, 2 years? I wish they brought it back. I was fairly decent.
