Ubisoft has announced that it will be decommissioning some “additional online services” for older games, affecting three Xbox 360 titles: Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD, and Splinter Cell: Conviction. These online services will be terminated on January 25, 2024 due to the obsolescence of the technology that supports them.

The company has emphasized that purchased games will still be playable after this date, but certain online functionalities will be affected. This decision is not taken lightly, as Ubisoft recognizes the impact it may have on players of these older games.

In addition to the affected Xbox 360 titles, other games across various platforms will also see their online services discontinued. These include Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood on MAC, Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Assassin’s Creed Revelations on PC, Ghost Recon Future Soldier on PC, Heroes of Might and Magic VI on PC, NCIS on PC, R.U.S.E on PC, and Trials Evolution on PC.

Players who are interested in the co-op aspect of Splinter Cell: Conviction should note that there may be one last achievement worth pursuing before the online services are decommissioned. True Achievements, a website dedicated to gaming achievements, recommends checking it out before the end date.

Ubisoft assures players that any updates regarding this matter will be communicated accordingly. If you have any thoughts or feelings about this announcement, don’t hesitate to share them in the comments.
