Without much fanfare (or notice!) and number of Ubisoft titles, including some classics, have lost their online multiplayer services. Online features for some classic titles such as Assassin’s Creed 2, Rainbow Six Vegas and Far Cry 2 are being removed for players with immediate effect.
The short article on the Ubisoft site does not indicate any reasons for the changes:
The online multiplayer services for the titles listed below have now been shut down. The offline features for each game remain available. In-game news and player statistics have also been disabled. For games that used Ubisoft Connect services, Units and Challenges will be disabled, meaning you will no longer be able to earn Units by completing Challenges for the game. Rewards can still be unlocked, however you will not be able to receive them in-game.
Unlockable content (ULC) such as maps and skins will also be disabled, meaning that you will no longer be able to unlock them. On PC, ULC will no longer be available even if it has been redeemed previously. On console, the ULC will continue to be available unless you reset your saved game files.
Here’s a complete list of all of the games impacted, and the platforms that lose online services.
