Ubisoft announced the other day that the online features of many of its old games will be closed. After the services will be closed in September, the DLC of some games will also be disabled. These games include some Assassin;s Creed games, Far Cry 3, etc.
Ubisoft Mainz, the developer of Anno 2070, one of the games on the list, did not remain silent in the face of Ubisoft’s decision.
“Following our initial review, we decided to dedicate some of our development resources to upgrading Anno 2070’s aging online service infrastructure to a new system, so that these features will be available beyond that date,” says the Mainz studio. “But we can’t guarantee right now whether we’ll be able to successfully upgrade older services as we would like,” he continues.
So the studio will do what they can, but there is a possibility that they will fail. Nevertheless, it is a very positive step that the Mainz studio has directed its own teams to this task against the decision from the main Ubisoft.
So I think we can believe that the people who developed Anno 2070 can successfully solve this problem.
