Assassin’s Creed III

Ubisoft ending online services for three more Wii U games

Ubisoft has announced that it is ending online services for another round of Wii U games. Assassin’s Creed III, Rayman Legends, and ZombiU will go offline on September 1, 2022.

Ubisoft explained in a statement: “Closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles.”

Maxime Beaudoin worked at Ubisoft for several years as a technical architect. Last year, he left the company and founded his own studio. Beaudoin thought it would make sense to look back at his time at Ubisoft in a personal blog post.

One interesting part of the piece has Beaudoin speaking about porting Assassin’s Creed III to Wii U. It was no easy task due to the technical challenges involved, but in the end, the team managed to get it done.

Beaudoin wrote:

After PoP, I contributed on several games here and there, and eventually landed on a technically very challenging project: porting Assassin’s Creed 3 on the WiiU. This was very different from my previous work. The team was super small: we were 2 programmers at the beginning, and at the peak I think we were like 15 or something.

Assassin’s Creed III is available at Best Buy for an incredibly low price. The retailer is selling Ubisoft’s game for only $9.99. This price is valid both in-store (including in-store pickup) and online.

A pair of Ubisoft titles have received permanent price discounts on the Wii U eShop. As of now, Assassin’s Creed III is available for $19.99. Splinter Cell: Blacklist’s price has been slashed to $39.99.
