Comment on Ubisoft ‘ends game development’ at Tom Clancy studio, Red Storm, resulting in 105 job losses | VGC

I have such fond memories of playing Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 back in the day. Siege is an absolute abomination and does nothing but a disservice to the franchise. But Ubisoft lacks the capacity to make an Assassin’s Creed game that’s actually an Assassin’s Creed game so no surprise there…

Franchise rot is real. You’d think they’d learn when their most talked about games are always the early entries in a series, after the devs have hit their stride but before execs have ruined things with dumb ideas and fad chasing.

I haven’t played an Assassins Creed since Black Flag. I remember watching a preview of (I think) Valhalla showcasing the stealth. They snuck up on a boss and “assassinated” him, which… started the normal boss battle with them missing a bit of health. What’s even the point, then?

I guess they weren’t even working on those games anymore:

However, while Red Storm is best known for its association with Tom Clancy games, for the past decade, it’s been focused on VR games, such as Werewolves Within (2016), Star Trek: Bridge Crew (2017), and Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR (2023).

Modern stewardship of Tom Clancy titles has been handled by Massive Entertainment (The Division), Ubisoft Montreal (Rainbow Six Siege), Ubisoft Paris (Ghost Recon Wildlands), and Ubisoft Toronto (Splinter Cell remake).
