The changes seem to largely reflect the games impacted by the recent stealth server closure, although a few look to simply be late additions to the list following closures some time ago.
Ubisoft's online services status page was recently updated, again with no fanfare. It seems fully intentional, though - Ubisoft Support on Twitter had this to say when asked about the Assassin's Creed games in particular: We've reached out to Ubisoft for clarification, and will inform you as and when we get an update on the situation from the publisher. While it was initially thought this could simply have been an error, players have reportedly been receiving responses after contacting Ubisoft, informing them that the online services for these games are indeed now closed. Over the last few weeks, players have been reporting issues connecting to servers in a handful of different Xbox 360-era Ubisoft titles, and the forums for the relevant games are awash with tales of woe about trying to connect to both online servers and Uplay accounts.
Others are reporting issues with even more Ubisoft titles, including Far Cry 2, Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed Unity, and more, so this issue could run even deeper than it seems. Several TA members have also reported that the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag servers are down for the Xbox 360 version, with Uplay functionality hit on both 360 and Xbox One, although Black Flag does not appear on Ubisoft's official list of closures. Original story: A host of older Ubisoft titles - including four Assassin's Creed games - have seemingly had their online services shut down without warning, rendering many online achievements discontinued. We will provide advance notice before shutting down any online services for our games and have updated our support article to reflect this.” Sounds like good news to us, but you might want to get to work before those servers actually are taken down. Server Closure Luke Albigés Update: Ubisoft has issued a statement to TA in which it explains the situation thusly: “Some of our games (Anno 2070, Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed III, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Driver San Francisco, Far Cry 3, Silent Hunter 5, and Splinter Cell Blacklist) were taken offline for a short maintenance and services have been restored.
