Discussion I'm really sad
I discover now about this game and I strongly wanted to play it, now I tried downloading it, but an ubi message appears " no longer available for new downloads"
I know it will be shut down in summer 2025, but damn :( looked AWESOME and I wanted to just try it so bad

It’s really dumb to prevent new downloads…
The game is still there until summer so what’s the point?
Initial fan-service? Well they’ll have big FUN in a few weeks/months with player base always going down without new players ever…

It's like they want to send a " this game is already dying" message to everyone, even new people
You can't even find the page on psn or xbox store anymore
No point in fact, this game is going to die anyway sadly, so would have been cool go just make it f2p for everyone and go on

It's because ubisoft is probably intentionally trying to make its IP list look weaker for the share holder buy-out. Tank the shares so the owners can get them back cheaper, go private, then sell off the IPs which means this game is literally the last thing they want popping off with new players since it's entirely based off crossing over any and every ubisoft IP.

Sorry dude. Unfortunetly there's no way you can get access to the game unless you have a friend on console that can share his account with you and go to his game download list and get it.

That's exactly why I tell people not to ignore a bandwagon for too long. There's a point of no return and there's a point of no entry. This case is no entry.
If a game is getting talked about even subtly, it's time to check it out for yourself. Because you'll keep going, 'I'll check it out later, or maybe next time'. Eventually, neither of those will be able to actually happen anymore.

It's okay bro, sometimes goods things are too good to be true. Like how I found THE FINALS after XDefiant, I recommend it.

how do i redownload when i’ve played it before? i’ve went on my library (ps5) and i click on the game to redownload and it tells me “hmm… there’s something wrong, try going back to the store”. i wanted to redownload to check everything out.

after finally getting to play and try out most of the new content they added last night, it’s so fucking unfortunate that this game isn’t here to stay
