Ubisoft's XDefiant Delayed After Being Rejected by PlayStation and Xbox - IGN (www.ign.com)

Ubisoft could potentially launch somewhere between the middle of September to the middle of October after being denied certification by PlayStation and Xbox.

In a written update, producer Mark Rubin said that Ubisoft started the certification process for XDefiant on PlayStation and Xbox at the end of July. However, in mid-August, Ubisoft found out that the game received a Not Pass. If it had passed, then XDefiant would have been released at the end of August.

Now, Ubisoft has to search for compliances and functionality bugs within the game and fix them so that it can ship. Ubisoft plans to submit to first party platforms for certification again in less than two weeks. If the game passes, then it can officially be released by middle to late September.

Like, seriously? How bad does a game have to be to fail from such a major Publisher?

Yea I'd expect something like that from an indie developer that's not familiar with the approval process

Why would they submit if they weren't sure if was going to pass lol

Ubisoft is a big company. I can see it as the devs saying "it's not ready" and some exec, high on his if you believe hard enough it's true bullshit and said either submit it or find another job.

Maybe they thought their checks cleared?

Or, it's a security violation. Maybe the game accidentally opens a door to allow unsigned software to run.
