Ubisoft has announced that the company is ending the online services of a new series of Wii U games.
Assassin’s Creed III, Rayman Legends, and ZombiU will be retired on September 1, 2022.
In a statement, Ubisoft explained: “Closing online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences to players who play newer or more popular titles.”
With Rayman Legends and ZombiU, players will not be able to link their in-game Ubisoft accounts or use online features. This also applies to Assassin’s Creed III, although Ubisoft states that you will not be able to participate in multiplayer and that “installation and access to downloadable content (DLC) will not be available”.
Ubisoft already ended support for a wide range of Wii U and Wii games earlier this year, including a number of Just Dance and Rabbids titles, as well as Splinter Cell: Blacklist etc. The list is complete:
- ESPN Sports Communications
- Just Dance 3 Kids
- just dance 4
- Just Dance 2014
- just dance 2015
- Just Dance 2016
- just dance 2017
- just dance 2018
- Just Dance Disney Party
- Just Dance Disney Party 2
- Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
- Rapids back home
- Rapids Land
- Rapids travel back in time
- Splinter Cell: Blacklist
- Your Fitness Evolution 2013
Rayman Legends first came to Wii U in 2013 after a lot of drama, and then to the Nintendo Switch in 2017. Assassin’s Creed III also jumped to the current Nintendo console as part of the remastered collection with Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation. ZombiU was launched as a Wii U exclusive in 2012 during the cosnole lineup, and while it arrived on other consoles a few years later, there is currently no Nintendo Switch version.
