"Ubisoft does not tolerate any form of racism, bullying or harassment", the spokesperson shared. "We believe in providing positive and engaging entertainment experiences where everyone feels welcome, included and celebrated".

Ubisoft Ubisoft Cancelled a Splinter Cell Battle Royale Game “Weeks” Before Announcing it – Rumour

It felt until not that long ago like Ubisoft was announcing a new multiplayer shooter every other month, and it didn’t take long until the company started seeing criticism for the uninspired projects it was unveiling. That, in turn, seems to have brought about a change in strategy for Ubisoft, with a number of titles having been cancelled by the company over the last year or so- and it seems like details have emerged on one that hadn’t been announced before its cancellation.
