New leak reveals the six games Ubisoft cancelled last month

Ubisoft made the shocking decision to cancel its Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake several weeks ago, alongside a number of other unannounced projects. Now thanks to a new report, we may know exactly which unannounced games were scrapped during the publisher's restructuring. 

According to Insider Gaming's sources, aside from the Prince of Persia remake, the cancelled games at Ubisoft last month included Project Aether, Project Pathfinder (formerly Project U), Project Crest, Assassin's Creed Rebellion and Assassin's Creed Singularity.

We will break down a little more about what we already knew of each project based on prior rumours. For starters, Project Pathfinder was originally discovered more than five years ago when it was being worked on under the Project U name. This game was apparently set to be a co-op PvPvE shooter, with a handful of teams taking on hordes of robot enemies and bosses, while also trying to survive other players in the vicinity.

Assassin's Creed Rebellion was one of a handful of free-to-play mobile game attempts from Ubisoft. The game has actually been available from as far back as 2018 but apparently support is now ending this year. The other cancelled Assassin's Creed game, Singularity, was reportedly set to be a new mobile game, one that would also launch on PC.

Project Crest was a mystery game that had not really leaked previously, but apparently it was going to be a World War 2 extraction shooter. From the sounds of it, Ubisoft had multiple projects in the works targeting similar genres, so it is no wonder that some of these got cancelled.

Finally, Project Aether is another game that hadn't really been reported on in prior leaks until after its cancellation. Nothing is really known about this one, but it had apparently started development in 2019, before being rebooted and handed over to another studio. It was cancelled as part of Ubisoft's recent cost-cutting efforts.

KitGuru Says: Most of these cancellations aren't too surprising. Clearly, the Prince of Persia remake is still the standout and probably the one that hurts fans the most.
