Reports indicate Ubisoft has reportedly halted development on an online cooperative game that was a spin-off of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The move comes amid a recent string of project cancellations and proposed staff reductions at the publisher. This latest alleged cancellation adds to growing unrest around Ubisoft's slate and workplace changes.

  • The cancelled project was intended as an online co-op experience branching out from Assassin's Creed Shadows' universe.
  • Sources say the decision follows a period in which Ubisoft cancelled several high-profile projects, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake.
  • Ubisoft has also proposed substantial workforce changes at its Paris offices—reports mentioned up to 200 potential job cuts—sparking employee and industry concern.
  • The accumulation of cancellations and staffing moves has prompted calls for labor action and intensified scrutiny of Ubisoft’s strategic direction.
