Ubisoft revealed XDefiant’s in-game fundraising campaign, which will work with nonprofit Direct Relief to collect money for victims of poverty and natural disasters.
Ubisoft has partnered with Direct Relief, a humanitarian aid organization that works in all 50 states and almost 100 countries. Its goal is to enhance the lives and health of those impacted by poverty or emergencies, regardless of their political, religious, or financial status.
XDefiant players can buy a “Four Alarm” bundle from the in-game store from now until August 30. This time-limited package comes with:
- De Rosa Four Alarm Rare Character Skin
- Kersey Four Alarm Rare Character Skin
If the characters in the skins haven’t been unlocked yet, players that buy the package will also be able to unlock them.
The bundle will cost 1,000 XCoins ($10), and all proceeds will go straight to Direct Relief, which supports relief operations for natural disasters throughout the world.
Gloria Parrish, Director, Corporate & Brand Partnerships at Direct Relief stated, “Direct Relief is privileged to serve communities impacted by disasters around the globe. To do so in partnership with Ubisoft and its communities of like-minded players is an honor. We look forward to a successful XDefiant campaign.”
Ben Huang, MTX Director at Ubisoft San Francisco, the lead studio for XDefiant stated, “At Ubisoft, we believe that games bring people together and keep them connected. However, environmental and other disasters, such as the large wildfires here in California, cause massive displacement and imminent disruption to people’s lives. We’re proud to team with Direct Relief and help support a cause that is very near to us. By bringing our players together, we hope to help bring change to those in need at a time of crisis.”
Since its founding in 1948, Direct Relief has given health organizations in 136 countries—including those impacted by climate-related natural disasters—more than $16 billion in necessary medications, supplies, and equipment, as well as more than $350 million in grants.
XDefiant is a fast-paced, free-to-play arcade shooter developed by Ubisoft San Francisco that has factions based on some of the company’s most well-known brands. XDefiant can be downloaded by users from their PC via Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, or Ubisoft Connect. Visit HERE to download XDefiant.
