Ubisoft has decided that it will be pulling the plug on another handful of classic games that incorporate multiplayer or some other form of online functionality. The full list, which can be found on the publisher’s official support forums, include major titles such as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Rainbow Six Lockdown, and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, as well as Assassin’s Creed 2, Far Cry 2, and Splinter Cell Conviction. Online support for the majority of these games will be terminated on June 1, 2021; ULCs (unlockable content) will no longer be unlockable or available on PC even if they were previously redeemed.

We are constantly assessing what’s needed to deliver the best possible online services for Ubisoft’s customers. Shutting the services for some older games with smaller online audiences is a necessary part of this process, since it allows our IT and service staff to better focus on delivering great online experiences to the vast majority of customers who are playing newer, more popular titles. Still, we don’t take the decision to retire services for older Ubisoft games lightly, and we understand some of you may be disappointed by this news.
