  This isn't surprising. I just hope this reset means a higher bar of quality is set because it is objective fact that Ubisoft titles are not as good as they used to be. Bring back Rayman, Far Cry, The Division, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs. They focused on live-services for too long.

  Truly insane. Never trust Ubisoft with anything. Have little hope we see the new Splinter Cell project and or it ends up being good. Absolute mess of a company...

  Major update from #Ubisoft today. The company will continue to split into 5 different “creative houses.” Each creative house will be responsible for their own financial success and will make decisions based on their own market needs / outlook. (Reminder: Vantage Studios is house …

  Ubisoft has to be on the verge of death or a total buyout at this point I haven't seen a game company flounder and be such a void of quality in years

  The original will always be there thankfully, but this is awful news for the people who worked on this project for so many years. Unfortunately, cancelations and layoffs are just becoming the norm now. Hope the team is able to find other work.

  Ubisoft cancels more games and will lay off more people. So much for “the chuds were wrong, Ubisoft is doing great!.” Remember when we started, Ubisoft was strong and nobody believed we could get them to change, being so big. But we did. Let's hope the anti-woke lessons we

  While the game was recently rated, they said the decision to can the game is because it didn't meat their quality standards. It's interesting because Ubisoft of 5 years ago wouldn't care about the standards, and they closed a studio that made a super high quality PoP game just

  In a media call, Ubisoft chief financial officer Frederick Duguet explained the decision to cancel Prince of Persia Sands of Times remake and 5 other games, and delay seven games including an unannounced project that (according to Jason Schrier) could be the Black Flag Remake.

  BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile).  The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.

  Ubisoft... the company that adopted NFTs and blockchains for their games with catastrophic results... now jumps on the AI bandwagon and follows it up with major staff and game cuts.  —  Guess how this is gonna end up? [embedded post]

  Oof.  Not unexpected, but still a gut-punch.  I've been saying I'm worried about Ubisoft for a couple of years now, and this feels like dam finally breaking.  I don't know that these moves will turn the company around, but this is huge news from what was once one of the powerhous…

  WTF?  Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake canceled?  Ubisoft NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  —  And it was only one of six cancellations.  So help me God if one of the other cancellations was the Splinter Cell remake... www.ign.com/articles/ubi...

  For the last few weeks, rumors have been circulating that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was completed and would be released on January 16.  In reality, Ubisoft was not happy with the state of the game and decided to cancel it as part of a massive reorganization
