XDefiant was originally supposed to be out in summer 2023, but following a seemingly-successful beta test in April of that year, it was bumped to October 2023, and then delayed again to an unspecified future date. In its February 2024 financial report, Ubisoft slated XDefiant for launch in the fourth quarter of its 2023-24 fiscal year, which ended March 31.
A week before that date arrived, rumors surfaced that the game would be delayed yet again, and a few days later Ubisoft made it official.
"The game has always been community-first, with player feedback as a top priority," the development team said in the update. "While we hoped to go live by the end of March, there are still some improvements that we need to test before that."
Ubisoft said it's "finishing preparations" for a server stress test that will run for 12 hours on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. "After this short test, we expected to be able to lock a launch date and start sharing more about exciting content XDefiant has to offer in the future!"
Skydance Games posted an important update regarding Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra on X stating the game is now targeting an "early 2026" launch.
It´s a game from Amy Hennig after all.
I have no doubt it´s gonna be high quality on release.
"Four years after initial release, we have developer Red Art Games to thank for this new PS5 console version." Mike @ Thumb Culture
Fear the Gun has called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre "fully realized" and says there will be no further updates.

I'm just going to be honest here and say what people seem to not want to, XDefiant success is going to be short-lived and it's because it's a game that's going to be under Ubisoft's umbrella. The development team can be absolute rockstars, but with Ubisoft steering the ship it's not going to go anywhere.
It could be a truely amazing game (it won't be) but with Ubisoft it will be monitized within a inch of its life.
Meh
The game is dead move on. It's the same with the Finals. These short period hype games doesn't last.
