🎮 Ubisoft is officially shutting down their San Francisco studio, which many saw as expected news. This decision is believed to be beneficial for Ubisoft and the future of the Assassin's Creed games.

😢 177 employees have lost their jobs due to the closure of the San Francisco studio and the shutdown of the game X Defiant, which will cease operations in June 2025.

📉 The decision to shut down X Defiant was made due to poor player numbers and a lack of spending. The game had a strong launch with over 15 million players, but failed to maintain player engagement.

💰 Ubisoft announced that refunds will only be available for specific purchases, including the Ultimate Founders Pack and purchases made within the last 30 days. Other cosmetic items may not be refunded.

🔄 The game will remain playable until June 3, 2025, but new downloads and purchases will be halted starting December 3, 2024.

🛠️ Ubisoft aims to refocus on successful franchises like Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, and Splinter Cell, which could lead to a more profitable future.
