Frame-rate issues, bugs series, micro-transactions, lifting of embargo late to the American press, Ubisoft is at the heart of the controversy with his most recent Assassin's Creed Unity. This is not trivial for the French publisher: this is its most popular series; the success story has served as an example to create others, such as Watch Dogs.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity is a nightmare... UBISOFT should make new Prince of Persia...
Assassin's Creed Unity is a great game much better than POP. Looking forward to the next Assassin's Creed.
