Ubisoft is known for routinely shutting off multiplayer and other online services of its classic games as years go by, and today, the publisher shared another list of its games that will get the same treatment later in 2022. The newly announced 15 games will be decommissioned on September 1 and include classics from popular series such as Assassin's Creed, Anno, Far Cry, and Splinter Cell, among others.

In addition to shutting off all multiplayer and online capabilities, some games on the chopping block — Assassin's Creed 3 (2012), Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, Driver San Francisco, and Far Cry 3 (2012) — are getting their DLCs' access and installations revoked too. As expected, remastered versions of affected games will remain untouched.

"Closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles," explains Ubisoft regarding these decisions.

Here are all the affected games:
  • Assassin’s Creed 2
  • Assassin’s Creed 3
  • Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood
  • Assassin’s Creed Revelations
  • Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD
  • Anno 2070
  • Driver San Francisco
  • Far Cry 3
  • Ghost Recon Future Soldier
  • Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
  • Rayman Legends
  • Silent Hunter 5
  • Space Junkies
  • Splinter Cell: Blacklist
  • ZombiU
