Ubisoft is pulling the plug again. 10 games will lose access to online features. The hit installment of “Assassin’s Creed” is on the list

Game producers have accustomed us to giving up the multiplayer mode in slightly older titles. Online functions in games are disabled primarily for financial reasons – maintaining servers costs money, and with a small number of players interested in online gameplay, it simply becomes unprofitable.

It is also worth remembering that the operation of online mode in games requires – at least partial – moderation. In addition, there is the need to release updates and security patches. So there comes a time when you have to pull the proverbial plug from the socket.

Ubisoft is pulling the plug. 10 games will lose access to online features

Ubisoft decided to make such a move. In April last year, the French company announced exclusively online features in nearly 100 titles. The list then included, among others: the oldest installments of the popular series “Assassin’s Creed”, “Might & Magic”, “Settlers” and “Rainbow Six”

Now the company has announced a plan to shut down servers for another 10 games. Online services in these productions will stop working on January 25, 2024, in less than three months.

The full list of canceled titles is as follows:

• “Assassin’s Creed II” (X360);
• “Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood” (Mac);
• “Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD” (PlayStation 3, X360)
• “Assassin’s Creed Revelations” (PC);
• “Ghost Recon Future Soldier” (PC);
• “Heroes of Might and Magic VI” (PC);
• “NCIS” – (PC);
• “RUSE” – (PC);
• “Splinter Cell: Conviction” (X360);
• “Trials Evolution” (PC).

It is worth adding that in addition to turning off the online mode, all these games will also lose access to online functions related to the Ubisoft Connect application. This includes, among others: about the ability to unlock rewards or connect a given game to a Ubisoft account.
