Ubisoft will block the use of DLCs for some titles

Ubisoft will shut down the servers for many of its games in September. Among them, there are titles like Assassin's Creed 3, Brotherhood and Liberation. In addition to cutting out any multiplayer components, this will also make it impossible to access their DLCs, even if they were purchased before that date. In total, the studio will close support for fifteen titles, making it impossible to use the DLCs starting September 1, 2022.



“The closure of online services for some older games us allows us to focus our resources to provide extraordinary experiences for players who are playing the latest or most popular titles, ”reads the blog post announcing the decision. "To help us achieve this, a number of older titles will be added to our list of discontinued online services on September 1, 2022." The wording in the section discussing the effects on the games' DLCs also suggests that, not only will players not be able to download them, but they won't be able to play them either. "Installation and access to downloadable content (DLC) will not be available," it reads. This is likely due to the fact that you will no longer be able to link your Ubisoft accounts to the games, making it potentially impossible to prove that you own the DLCs.| ); }

Many are frustrated that the DLCs they've spent money on become inaccessible. It remains to be seen whether Ubisoft plans compensation for the injured players. After the interesting initiative in favor of the climate, this is certainly a choice that will cause a lot of discussion.
