The media continues to actively discuss the internal affairs of Ubisoft. At the end of January, the company surprised the public with the cancellation of six games, including the much-suffering Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, which, as it turned out, was fully ready for release, but its quality did not allow hope for success.

The rest of the five canceled games were known only in general terms, but now the Insider Gaming portal has revealed the full list.

What is known

As part of a large-scale reorganization, the French publisher abandoned the following games:

  • Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake — everything has already been said about it;
  • Project Ether — the development of the game began in 2019 by the Ubisoft Halifax studio, part of the work will be used in another project;
  • Project Pathfinder (formerly known as Project U);
  • Project Crest — an Extraction shooter set in World War II;
  • Assassin’s Creed Rebellion — a mobile game that was released in 2018, in January Ubisoft closed the Halifax studio that supported it;
  • Assassin’s Creed Singularity — a new mobile project that was never presented to the public.

It is known from other sources that due to budget constraints, Ubisoft abandoned a previously announced project with the code name League, which was supposed to be a multiplayer mode of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.

At the same time, Ubisoft continues to work on Assassin's Creed Invictus, which resembles either Fall Guys or Fortnite, and which “Insider: Ubisoft employees are sick of Assassin's Creed Invictus — they don't understand why this game is needed.” And on a final note, the French developer is not giving up and is firmly Ubisoft continues to torment Beyond Good & Evil 2: after 17 years of development, the studio is looking for a sound designer, on which it has been working for 18 years and spent more than $500 million.
