XDefiant might have some Far Cry-inspired factions added in the future as a player discovers a teaser hidden in plain sight in Practice Zone.

XDefiant‘s five factions seem to cover most playstyles that players might want to stick with during matches. However, players are still hoping for some new factions added in the future and one Far Cry-related discovery has given life to several theories about a possible future faction.

‘XDI’ posted on X (formerly Twitter) about this as one player discovered a small area in the Practice Zone map that has a setup compiling several references to Far Cry New Dawn, specifically of the Highwaymen faction.

One massive hint that the easter egg is all about the Highwaymen is the background music that plays when players head closer to the area, which is the Highwaymen anthem in Far Cry New Dawn. So XDefiant players feel that it could make its way into the game in the future.

The Highwaymen were a band of criminals that had heavy artillery at their disposal whenever they wanted. Although they have quite a grim history of crimes and have zero sense of morality, bringing them into XDefiant could at least be a way of getting some interesting abilities involving firearms.

However, they are particularly not the most favorable factions in Far Cry New Dawn, which in turn is also one of the least popular Far Cry titles. “Out of all factions, they go with the Highwaymen. Why not the Pirates or the Tribal Warriors from 3?” said user ‘Pugnuggetsxx.’

Whether this theory proves to be true or it’s just a simple easter egg in the game remains to be seen. Speaking of XDefiant, Ubisoft recently broke their player count records with it, even though there were several complaints right after its launch.
