From Dust is the rare kind of game from which i, as a livelong gamer, can say it is like nothing i have ever played before. Designed by Eric Chahi and developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the game takes you to a strange Africa-like ancient world, where your goal is to protect your tribe from dangers and help them to achieve their objectives. The game is different from any other game in the way you control your people. More precisely, you actually don't really control them at all. Instead you use a special cursor called a "breath" to control the natural elements (sand, water and lava) with which they interact.
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.
Played the demo and that was fun so might pick this up
