A leak from a fairly dependable supply appears to trace that the Rabbids, Rayman’s iconic lagomorphic foils, might quickly seem as a joinable faction in XDefiant. The place’s the limbless surprise whenever you want him?

The leak involves us courtesy of AgainTx, a knowledge miner who has offered credible details about weapons, skills, and options that made their method into XDefiant after the sport’s preliminary launch. In response to AgainTx, the Rabbids are simply certainly one of a number of new factions that may debut in XDefiant’s second 12 months. Many of those factions are based mostly on Ubisoft video games that haven’t but acquired any illustration in XDefiant, together with Assassins Creed, Rainbow Six, and The Crew.

Sadly, lots of AgainTx’s posts concerning this potential leak have been taken all the way down to do copywrite strikes made in opposition to them by Ubisoft. Whereas this implies I can’t technically again up AgainTx’s claims, the truth that Ubisoft goes out of its technique to censor their content material does lend an air of credibility to them and their work.

If this leak seems to be correct, I’m amazed it’s taken this lengthy for the Rabbids to look in XDefiant. The Rabbids have come a great distance since their debut in Rayman: Raving Rabbids again on the Wii, to the purpose the place they’ve successfully develop into the unofficial Ubisoft mascots. Whereas I’m not afraid to confess that I really feel the Rabbids’ entire “so-random” schtick is a bit performed out, I’d be mendacity If I mentioned I’m not excited by the sheer insanity they might introduce into the straight-laced world of a first-person shooter like XDefiant.

After all, that is nonetheless all hypothesis, and there’s a actual risk that AgainTx shall be confirmed unsuitable as soon as XDefiant’s second 12 months begins. Solely time will inform, but it surely looks like this leak may very well be a enjoyable, or at the very least humorous, one if it seems to be true.
