Hold your grain of salt prepared, but in addition keep in mind that is Ubisoft, we’re speaking about. Any unhealthy resolution is seemingly attainable.
A declare has been made by an impartial French outlet Origami that the workforce at Ubisoft Montpellier who created Prince Of Persia: The Misplaced Crown was disbanded after Ubisoft management rejected the workforce’s proposal for a sequel.
This doesn’t imply that Montpellier is being shuttered – a minimum of that’s not what it seems to be like at the moment. Simply that the event workforce is not all collectively assigned on one venture, and have been scattered all through the corporate.
The report continues that this resolution got here right down to numbers, or lack thereof within the case of The Misplaced Crown, which is alleged to have missed its sale targets.
Out of all of Ubisoft’s releases in 2024, you would very simply take a look at the lineup and conclude that The Misplaced Crown is essentially the most profitable of Ubisoft’s titles this yr.
It’s a important darling that breathed new life right into a franchise followers wish to see extra from, however Ubisoft hadn’t delivered on. Executed by a workforce of veteran builders who know what goes into making a superb 2D platformer.
‘Disappointing’ could be an understatement, for the way followers would really feel ought to this hearsay change into true. 2024 has been stuffed with turmoil for Ubisoft, but it surely’s complicated (to say the least) to see the logic in how disbanding the one improvement workforce who delivered a universally beloved recreation would assist.
