Ubisoft to Shut Down Multiplayer and Online Services for 15 Games in September 2022
Ubisoft is set to shut down multiplayer and online services for 15 games on September 1, 2022, including five Assassin's Creed games, Far Cry 3, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and more.
For games like Assassin's Creed 3 (2012 Release) and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, the installation of access to DLC will also be unavailable on that date.
"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," Ubisoft wrote on its support page.
The full list of games and what services will be stopped is as follows
It's important to note that the remastered versions of Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 will not be shut down.
Ubisoft made a similar move in 2021, shutting down multiplayer functionality and online services for such games as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Rainbow Six Lockdown, Far Cry 2, and Splinter Cell Conviction.
