The flailing Ubisoft hopes to capitalize on its most successful franchise. A new job listing is seeking a developer to introduce live-service elements into Assassin's Creed games. Gamers can also expect more microtransactions in follow-ups to Assassin's Creed Shadows.

    Pretty sure these guys want to make an Assassins’ Creed gacha game.

    Ezio limited banner is up for the next month! Soft pity (odds increase) at 80 pulls! Hard pity (guarantee pull) at 160 pulls! Pull for Ezio today! Ezio will not go to standard when his banner ends!

      Honestly I hope they don’t. There are still talented people working and creating games, not always the best ones, but still. And they own lot of beloved franchises. Bankrupt would be the worst case. If they go down, then I hope another company (Tencent?) will buy Ubisoft.

    LOL Sony just canceled a whole bunch of live service games, having read the fucking room and pivoting to other game types. Yet Ubisoft, is going to drive their franchise off a cliff. The bold faced incompetence of that choice (or actively considering that choice), is chilling.
