The flailing Ubisoft hopes to capitalize on its most successful franchise. A new job listing is seeking a developer to introduce live-service elements into Assassin's Creed games. Gamers can also expect more microtransactions in follow-ups to Assassin's Creed Shadows.

    A July 2025 investor’s report argued that microtransactions “make the player experience more fun.”

    Zero change since then.

    Ubisoft is probably still rooted from that Christmas mongo hack. I look forward to forking Rainbow 6 once their backup server leaks

    Huh? Haven’t they already been doing this the last decade plus? Did I travel back in time?

      Honestly I hope they don’t. There are still talented people working and creating games, not always the best ones, but still. And they own lot of beloved franchises. Bankrupt would be the worst case. If they go down, then I hope another company (Tencent?) will buy Ubisoft.

        Them shutting down would be one of the best things that could happen to gaming. They wouldn’t be able to screw up their IPs any more.

    LOL Sony just canceled a whole bunch of live service games, having read the fucking room and pivoting to other game types. Yet Ubisoft, is going to drive their franchise off a cliff. The bold faced incompetence of that choice (or actively considering that choice), is chilling.

        They still have plenty to fuck up before it’s truly over for them. As it seems gamers are weirdly wanting to trust that pile of filth known as Ubisoft.

    Pretty sure these guys want to make an Assassins’ Creed gacha game.

    Ezio limited banner is up for the next month! Soft pity (odds increase) at 80 pulls! Hard pity (guarantee pull) at 160 pulls! Pull for Ezio today! Ezio will not go to standard when his banner ends!
