Ubisoft has decided to take this classic game and bring it into the 21st century. No longer are there game pieces to lose (or flip over in frustration), or anything to keep track of. Risk on the new generation consoles takes very good care of showing you all the information that you need, from territories you own, to territories that could be attacked by the next player. You can choose a team color, who is on your team, and what territories to start with, and you are on your way to world domination. This however is not without it’s drawbacks.
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.
