XDefiant UI Redesign

Upgrading the Ubisoft title's Visual Identity to Fit Within the FPS Genre!

About

Playing XDefiant I noticed a consistent theme of a lost personalized identity, not at the fault of the core gameplay. Yet the merge of multiple Ubisoft IP's it showcased a dependancy on the visuals from the IP's without creating its own crafted world visually. My goal was to devise an identity through the user experience that feels like a modern comparison to current fps genre titles while emphasizing its ability to merge IP's into its world. This redesign creates a visual scope that expands the user experience to familiarity and quick access, having a unique XDefiant experience.

Background

This project I was able to explore visual design and create design systems within Figma that redefined the now shut down XDefiant Ubisoft IP. With new navigation experience familiar to other FPS titles while adding its own visual flare. Moving XDefiant into a new visual direction that solves its complex identity crisis with the use of other IP's for hoped longevity.

Initial Solution & Goals

How might we define XDefiant visual identity to enhance the user experience, core game identity, and upkeep with competitors while commemorating the collaborative IP's from the other Ubisoft titles?
