Ubisoft has confirmed the sudden cancellation of four projects, including the shareware shooter Ghost Recon: Frontline, two VR games set in the Splinter Cell universe, and two other unannounced titles. Assassin’s Creed VR remains in development, with Ubisoft not releasing an explanation for the decision. Frontline was envisioned as a battle royale experience, while the Splinter Cell VR project was planned as an Oculus Quest 2 exclusive. Earlier, Ubisoft announced a postponement of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, an open-world first-person action-adventure, pushing its release into the fiscal year 2023.
Industry observers have been watching closely as Ubisoft prepares for a major presentation on September 10. Rumors suggest the event could showcase Prince of Persia, The Crew 3, or a new Assassin’s Creed entry. The gaming community is weighing how these shifts might influence current and upcoming releases, platform strategies, and Ubisoft’s broader approach to immersive experiences. This pattern of cancellations and delays reflects a broader trend in the sector where studios balance ambitious projects against practical development timelines.
