Ubisoft’s first North American union, located at their Halifax, Nova Scotia studio, was certified on December 18th, 2025. Now, not even a full 30 days later, Ubisoft Halifax is closing.

    Have you played the two new prince of Persia games? They are very good. But not the same gameplay as the ps2 classics.

      Ubisoft asked the Rayman team (who have produced some of the best platformers) to develop Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, regarded as the best metroidvania of 2024.

      It failed to meet sales expectations, so they disbanded the teams and cancelled the sequel.

      Turns out gamers™️ do vote with their wallets, and they vote for churned out sequels.

      No, even Two Thrones felt off.

      The combat and movement was so good in WW that I didn’t try anything new after TT.
