Ubisoft Announcement Affects a Large Number of Players
Ubisoft recently made a surprising announcement that will have a significant impact on Assassin's Creed fans. Players of the popular game series will need to brace themselves for a major change.
Games' Features to Disappear After January 2023
Starting from January 24, 2023, players of ten different games, including four from the Assassin's Creed series, will no longer have access to online features. This means that multiplayer options and anything requiring a connection to the Ubisoft account will be unavailable.
Games Affected Include Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Ezio Trilogy
The games affected by this change include the three games in the Ezio trilogy and Assassin's Creed Liberation HD. While players will still be able to play the single-player mode, online features will be disabled.
Completionists May Miss Out on Trophies and Achievements
This change is particularly significant for completionists who strive to unlock all trophies and achievements in the games. Some of these awards require online play, so players will need to act quickly to secure them before the servers shut down.
