"Ubisoft has cancelled six video games - including its long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake - as part of a "major reset" of its operations. The French developer and publisher, known for popular games such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Just Dance, has closed two studios and delayed seven titles as part of its changes. Ubisoft has not specified which titles it has discontinued alongside the Prince of Persia remake. But it says among them are four unannounced titles, including three based on new intellectual property, and a mobile game."
"The closure of Ubisoft Halifax was previously announced in January - the same week the studio formed a union. "While these decisions are difficult, they are necessary for us to build a more focused, efficient and sustainable organisation over the long term," Guillemot said. "Taken together, these measures mark a decisive turning point for Ubisoft and reflect our determination to confront challenges head-on to reshape the Group for the long term"."
Ubisoft cancelled six games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, as part of a major reset of operations. The company closed two studios in Stockholm and Halifax, delayed seven titles, and announced restructuring at three other studios. The cancelled slate includes four unannounced projects, three of which are new intellectual property, plus a mobile game. The Halifax closure followed that studio’s union formation earlier in January. Ubisoft framed the measures as necessary to build a more focused, efficient and sustainable organisation aimed at returning to sustainable growth, while shares fell 33%.
