Ubisoft Is Ending Online Support For Classic Assassin’s Creed And Older Games
If you’re still playing the multiplayer mode in older Assassin’s Creed or Splinter Cell games, then you’ll probably want to enjoy what little time you have left of it. Ubisoft has announced that it will be ending online support for some of their older games in September. This includes multiplayer modes and other online features, as well as installation and access to DLCs.
“Closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles,” said Ubisoft. “To help us achieve this, a number of older titles will be added to our list of decommissioned online services on 1 September 2022.”
Here’s the full list of games that will have all online support removed:
- Anno 2070
- Assassin’s Creed 2
- Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
- Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
- Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD
- Assassin’s Creed 3 (Original 2012 Release)
- Driver: San Francisco
- Far Cry 3 (Original 2012 Release)
- Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
- Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
- Rayman Legends
- Silent Hunter 5
- Space Junkies
- Splinter Cell: Blacklist
- ZombiU
Note that the remastered versions of Assassin’s Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 will not be affected. Owners of the above-mentioned games will also be able to play the single-player campaigns and modes in offline mode. Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell fans also have its respective remakes to look forward to although both have been delayed at least twice with no launch dates in sight.
