A senior staff member behind the continually-delayed Ubisoft shooter XDefiant has denied a report which claimed the game's late launch was due to developers "chasing Call of Duty". Writing on social media platform X, XDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin - who previously held the same position at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare studio Infinity Ward - addressed a new Insider Gaming report that claims the game's developers are becoming creatively frustrated by demands they must "copy" features found in Call of Duty. On the claim that XDefiant was adding features akin to those found in Call of Duty, Rubin accepted that the game's staff were working on killcams, a COD mainstay, but suggested that the fact these were not being implemented immediately was a decision made to avoid any further delay.
