(Pocket-lint) — Twilight comes for us all eventually — or, at least, it does for games with online services. It's increasingly rare for these connectivity options to last forever, and Ubisoft is demonstrating that principle by closing down some old components in a range of games later this year.
From 1 September 2022, a host of its most famous titles including Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Assassin's Creed II will lose out on certain features, ranging from changes like being unable to access or install DLCs to the absence of any multiplayer whatsoever.
As we say, this is altogether common in the world of gaming right now, but it's still a shame to know that these pieces of history (some more important than others) will no longer be accessible as they currently are.
Two big exceptions exist in the form of more recent remasters of Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood specifically, which will still work in their complete state. You can find the list of games affected, along with details of the changes, below.
