Ubisoft's Restructuring Leads to Cancelled Games and Major Delays

February 14, 2026 - 19:10

A significant internal restructuring at gaming giant Ubisoft has resulted in the cancellation of several unannounced projects, including two mobile titles set within the popular Assassin's Creed universe. This move is part of a broader company strategy to refocus resources on its most promising franchises and core business pillars.

Beyond the mobile cancellations, the highly anticipated remake of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has reportedly been pushed back. Sources indicate the project, now in its earliest development stages at Ubisoft Singapore, will not see release until at least April 2026. The delay is attributed to the studio's commitment to ensuring the remake meets modern quality standards while also supporting the development of other major company projects.

This strategic shift reflects the challenging economic landscape for game developers, prompting Ubisoft to consolidate efforts. The company aims to strengthen its portfolio by concentrating on established brands and ensuring that upcoming releases, even those facing delays, deliver a polished experience to players worldwide. The full extent of the restructuring's impact on other unannounced titles remains undisclosed.
