The online multiplayer services for a number of Ubisoft titles have been shut down, leaving only the offline portions of the games available. This news comes via an official announcement on the Ubisoft website, where the video game company disclosed all the titles that would be affected. 

The most notable titles that have been impacted by this multiplayer closure are installments in iconic franchises including Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell, and Rainbow Six. While the majority of these titles aren’t exactly new, the news undoubtedly raises questions about game preservation.

It’s also important to note that in-game news and player statistics have also been disabled. Additionally, games that used Ubisoft Connect services, Units, and Challenges have also been removed, meaning you will no longer be able to earn Units by completing Challenges for the game.

All unlockable content such as maps and skins are no longer available, meaning that players can longer unlock them.
