Ubisoft Delays Online Feature Shutdown in Older Games

Ubisoft has postponed the announced shutdown of DLC and online feature support in its older games to October 1, i.e. by a month.

Previously, the French publisher had planned that, among others, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist will lose access to expansions and multiplayer modes on September 1. However, as it turns out tomorrow we will say goodbye only to the shooter Space Junkies.

It was also confirmed that single-player DLCs for more than a dozen games will remain available for download on PC until October 1. After that date, the DLCs will still be available for purchase and download on consoles.

As for Anno 2070, it has long been announced that players will receive an update that will enable them to continue playing in multiplayer in this strategy game. In a new announcement it has been confirmed that an appropriate patch for the game will be made available on Tuesday, September 6. As stated, on that day at 9 pm PT a technical break will begin, which may last up to 24 hours. After its completion, owners of Anno 2070 will gain access to a new, updated version of the game.
