Ubisoft recently announced that it had taken the difficult choice of cancelling six games that it was working on and now we know what they were courtesy of Insider Gaming. The canceled games include three new IP that the French company was working on. One game which wasn’t cancelled was the Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake which Insider Gaming says could be revealed in April.
- Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake – Canceled after being first announced in 2020.
- Project Ether – In development since 2019, which was canceled, but has morphed, in a way, into a newer project. Believed to have been in development at Ubisoft Halifax.
- Project Pathfinder – Known previously as Project U
- Project Crest – A World War 2 extraction shooter
- Assassin’s Creed Rebellion – Stopping support
- Assassin’s Creed Singularity – A new mobile Assassin’s Creed Game
Go woke go broke
All the waste of development and money. It’s all for nothing.
But how can anyone take pleasure in the fact that a developer/publisher is seriously at risk of going bankrupt?!
There are still thousands of employees behind this, families that could be torn apart.
The mentality of some people here is beyond me…
I think it’s hillarious. Make good games or put the fries in the bag.
And what exactly is a “good” game? Is it a game that sells despite its relatively poor gameplay, like Call of Duty, or a game like Bayonetta that is very good but sells poorly?
I just find it funny that all the woke wierdos are being shown the door
You’re probably talking to a woke weirdo. They also probably don’t know China government money is helping keep Ubisoft afloat and the company has other issues besides being massive hypocrites making woke games. Like all pushing that stuff they don’t believe it behind the scenes Ubisoft was a grounds for SA all over apparently numerous allegations are claimed and they’re not the only ones.
Yeah just gaslight that’s all you people do. To most COD was still a ok game in it’s later entries also the last few flopped WW2 and new Black Ops that were bad. Also yes a game can be hood and underperform but also they do need to make money their games are trash and flop hence why this is happening common sense. More studio closures on the way and honestly especially in Canada given the unique circumstances Canadian studios were formed for tax breaks and what not.
What you just describes is more so relevant to Ubislop games which you are defending here but attacking COD which performed well with more of its titles in its lifespan. AC, Division 2, Ghost Recon, XDefiant, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, and others all flopped and are shallow so by your logic in this case the shallow games like COD in your opinion underperformed finally so what is the problem? Do you like these shallow titles? If they are shallow the staff that makes them is part of the problem and making bad product leads to being fired. I agree the execs are to blame too but a lot of these people do the same crap elsewhere normally many ex-Ubisoft people made Gotham Knights, 343 staff made Metroid Prime 4, you see the similarities in the games. Even in good cases too ex-COD devs made Titanfall and Battlefield 6.
Modern COD games are flopping and studio layoffs there too your logic makes no sense also Bayonetta is still going and meeting its expectations. Are you going to start supporting COD games now? You people fail to realize gaming has changed.
If you truly feel that way you shouldn’t be on this site with the “mentally ill” people and should not be supporting the current games industry you enable it by participating in both cases. Don’t just lecture at others while doing nothing yourself stop supporting the games industry or at least big publishers if you love these developers so much support their indie games when they form their new studios buy every single game they make so they can continue and not just ex-Ubisoft every developer. If not then don’t complain.
just as long as it’s not splinter cell I honestly don’t care
Bro that’s probably getting cancelled it’s not a priority franchise for them
But beyond good and evil 2 is not cancelled despite a $500+ million budget? Also why cancel games and fire people Ubisoft claims they are doing great
Imagine if they had made a good feudal Japan AC game
