Ubisoft pushes shutdown of online services for 3 Wii U games to October 1st, 2022
You get one more month!
A few months ago, we learned that Ubisoft had plans to shut down the online services for some of its older titles, including three Wii U games: Assassin’s Creed III, Rayman Legends, and ZombiU. While that was originally supposed to happen just a few days ago, Ubisoft has now announced that the shutdown is delayed until October 1st, 2022. In a recent blog post, they made the following statement:
Decommissioning online services for older games is something we do not take lightly, but it is also a necessity as the technology that drove those services becomes obsolete. Over the last month, our teams have been hard at work exploring what is possible to reduce disruption.
As a result, we moved the decommission date from 1 September 2022 to 1 October 2022, and the single-player downloadable content (DLC) of several games on PC – Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed III (2012 release), Far Cry 3 and Splinter Cell Blacklist – will be available to download and keep before that date.
This means that you still have the rest of September to enjoy the online features of those games, if you so choose! It isn’t much, but it’s something.
