Yay?
Ubisoft has postponed the decomissioning of online services for a number of older games, it today announced.
A number of titles including Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed 3, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Far Cry 3, Rayman Legends, and Splinter Cell Blacklist were to have been gutted today, but they’ve all been granted a stay of execution… at least, for the time being.
“Decommissioning online services for older games is something we do not take lightly, but it is also a necessity as the technology that drove those services becomes obsolete,” Ubisoft wrote. “Over the last month, our teams have been hard at work exploring what is possible to reduce disruption.”
As a result, titles will receive a one-month extension to 1 October 2022.
“The single-player downloadable content (DLC) of several games on PC – Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed III (2012 release), Far Cry 3 and Splinter Cell Blacklist – will be available to download and keep before that date,” Ubisoft also advised.
