"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.
There is no shortage of colorful shooters out there nowadays.
