Ubisoft Restructures, Cances Prince of Persia Remake, and Shelves Eleven Other Projects
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Ubisoft cancels the Prince of Persia remake and eleven other projects amid major restructuring, while classic Far Cry games receive 60fps patches and Fortnite introduces a Fall Guys crossover.
Ubisoft is undergoing a major internal restructuring following recent studio closures and layoffs, resulting in the cancellation of twelve games. As reported by IGN South Africa, the long-awaited Prince of Persia remake is among the casualties of this shift. Instead of taking risks on experimental titles, Ubisoft is reorganizing its remaining studios to focus heavily on its established and most financially reliable intellectual properties. For players who have watched these development cycles drag on for years, this news stings, even if industry watchers saw a course correction coming.
While the publisher scales back its broader slate, some older fan favorites are finally getting a second look. A fresh patch has rolled out for Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal, bringing much-needed current generation updates including a smooth 60 frames per second. It is a welcome quality of life upgrade for communities revisiting those open worlds on modern hardware, proving that legacy titles still hold serious value for players who prefer classic single-player campaigns over live service grinds.
Elsewhere across the ecosystem, platform updates and crossovers continue to keep active lobbies moving. Nintendo gave Donkey Kong Country Returns HD a boost with a new playable character and mode tailored for Switch 2 audiences, while Epic Games dropped another massive crossover bringing Fall Guys into Fortnite. These updates highlight how modern gaming thrives on fresh content drops and cross-game events to keep our social feeds and creator streams active, balancing out the heavier industry news with everyday updates for players.
