's free-to-play competitive FPS XDefiant, surely a contender for the silliest game name in history , has announced another delay following a recent public playtest. The game was due to launch with a"Preseason" this month but, following what the developers describe as"inconsistencies in the game experience", has been delayed to an unspecified date.
