Unannounced Ubisoft Project Canceled

A Ubisoft Montreal developer revealed an unannounced game was just canceled.

Had better not have been a classic reboot of Splinter Cell with Michael Ironside back as the voice. With a VR mode on the side. (Classic night vision sound commences) https://youtu.be/TC0KTDMPx5...
Used to love those things in the military.

I'd be pissed. Espire 1 is cool. But it's no Metal Gear or Splinter Cell. Nice template for them though.

[SkatterBrain]

No Not Rayman!!!!

Whatever it was, it was probably canceled because it was too much fun without enough microtransactions.

[Knushwood Butt]

Cancelling after 3 years of work on the project. Wonder what it was. New Far Cry game?

So why show Watch Dogs as the thumbnail? Surely WILD would be a better choice.

[thatguyhayat]

Wild? Thats Sony isn't it.

[bunt-custardly]

Yep my bad. It's Michael Ancel and I assumed he was all Ubisoft. Either way, my comment stands. Watch Dogs Legion is far from being canned so why use the image from that game?

[thatguyhayat]

I agree. I was also thinking why the watchdogs picture that can lead to confusion on a scale.

You’d think you’d never heard of the words click bait.

[bunt-custardly]

The only relation to WD was the hint in the WD2 game to Pioneer the game that has been cancelled. But you are correct. Pure clickbait from IGN who should know better really.

[Zjet]

It will be Pioneer

[thatguyhayat]

Wow i completely forgot about this game

[porkChop]

But Pioneer was cancelled at the beginning of the year. This game was just cancelled now. I think they're two separate projects.

They couldn't figure out how to monetize every aspect, so they let it go. Yeah, I'm salty how they level gate to make people want to buy boosters.

[sander9702]

It's the opposite because after the massive failure of both The Division 2 and GR: Breakpoint Ubisoft has abandoned
the GAS model. That's why they delayed Legion to remake it into an actual game, so whatever this game was it was probably beyond saving when it came to being a GAS game.

[william_cade]

Both new AC's are SP games and are monetized like a GAS. We will see if Legion is going to be stuffed with MTs.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

They probably understand that their open world formula is boring, and that all of their games feel similar. At least one can hope that this is the reason.

[Smokehouse]

That sucks but it’s probably best. Instead of scrapping together what you have and release a half baked product you just cut your losses and move on. We didn’t get screwed as consumers and they didn’t lose their jobs. No harm no foul.

Hope the cancelled project wasn't a new Prince of Persia

[GtPawnSacrifices]

Happened to friend of mine’s dad. He worked for Ubi, game got canceled before announcing it.
Moved to Disney, & apparently they’re even worse. Said they’ll put 2 or 3 things in production knowing that they’ll only keep 1 from the start.
(He’s working on an Indy game now, but THq liked it and is backing it now)
But yeah, sadly this is nothing new :(

[gold_drake]

thats a damn shame honestly.

[Rambokind]

If a tree falls in a forest...

[JokerBoy422]

Please for the love of God dont let it be Splinter Cell!

[VTKC]

Well it doesnt matter then does it since nobody knows what it was. Whats the point in letting the public know about something like this? Is this a way to scare mongering people to buy their products/microtransactions to validate a demand for it so future alleged projects dont get cancelled so in fear of missing out on anything?

[Sidewinder-]

Probs Beyond Good & Evil 2.

[Gordoncordon]

i bet was rayman, you ubimbeciles
