Leak reveals all recently canceled Ubisoft games

Apart from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, Ubisoft has reportedly canceled several Assassin's Creed project and several multiplayer games as part of the recent reorganization. That's according to a new leak that claims to reveal every single project that didn't survive Ubisoft's January restructuring.

Faced with a string of commercial misfires, bloated operating expenses and a cratering share price, Ubisoft announced some tough decisions in late January 2026. The French developer-publisher said it would overhaul its entire operating model by reorganizing into five genre-focused “Creative Houses”, while downsizing its organization and targeting studio closures. At the time, company representatives said the group had canceled six projects as part of those efforts. However, only the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was mentioned by name.

A new report from Insider Gaming now claims to reveal the other five projects that Ubisoft dropped in January 2026. One was reportedly not a new game but a plan to continue supporting 2018's mobile RPG Assassin's Creed Rebellion with additional content. The other four are said to consist of Project Aether, Project Pathfinder, Project Crestand Assassin's Creed Singularity. The list includes several multiplayer games believed to be in early stages of development, making the decision to cancel them easier for Ubisoft as the company had not yet committed significant resources to them.

Project Pathfinder was formerly known as Project Uwith its first mention dating from September 2022, when Ubisoft described it as a “session-based” co-op shooter. After years of beta testing, Project U reportedly restarted in March 2024. Ubisoft was said to have raised concerns about its long-term commitment (replayability), but senior executives believed there was room in the market for another co-op shooter and therefore chose to return the project to the drawing board rather than shelve it. France-based Ubisoft Annecy is said to have led the development of the original concept, however Project Pathfinder said to have changed studios after the reboot. The fate of the other developer is unclear at this time.

Project Crest is among the more mysterious titles from the January 2026 wave of cancellations. The 2025 rumor describes it as an extraction shooter with a World War II setting, but without revealing any further details. Ubisoft flirted early with extraction-style PvPvE The division's Dark Zone, where players had to secure loot via helicopter extractions, but the modern extraction-shooter template is most commonly associated with Escape from Tarkov. Ubisoft has yet to deliver a single breakout hit in this space.
