Ubisoft introduced immediately throughout an investor earnings name that they’ve cancelled growth of deliberate battle royale sport Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline, in addition to Splinter Cell VR and two unannounced video games.
Throughout an investor name, chief monetary officer Frederick Duguet mentioned the cancellations have been the results of the “unsure financial atmosphere,” and that it might enable Ubisoft to “much more concentrate on our greatest growth alternatives.”
Ghost Recon Frontline was introduced in October final yr and was meant to enter a closed beta shortly thereafter. That beta was cancelled 24 hours earlier than it was on account of begin, with the sport’s Twitter account posting a message to say that they have been “devoted to creating one of the best expertise doable.” It was eight days from Frontline being introduced to by no means being heard from once more.
Splinter Cell VR was introduced in 2020 as an Oculus unique alongside Murderer’s Creed VR. Nothing from both of these VR video games was proven. A correct Splinter Cell remake was introduced in December of final yr.
I used to be unusually laborious on Ghost Recon Frontline when it was first introduced, as I had a mini disaster whereas making an attempt to jot down in regards to the announcement of yet one more battle royale and yet one more Tom Clancy sport:
I will be trustworthy. I spent a number of minutes throughout this reveal pondering Ubisoft had already introduced a sport known as Frontline, but it surely seems I used to be pondering of the equally free-to-play Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland. The possibilities of me retaining the names Wildlands, Breakpoint, Heartland and Frontline straight in my head are principally nil.
It is an uninspiring identify for what appears, at this stage, like an uninspiring sport. I like extraction modes and battle royale and group shoots and assault rifles, and I do know this as a result of I’ve already performed a number of video games which include these issues. Perhaps this does not matter! Perhaps each IP should now have an compulsory tackle battle royale, and perhaps Ghost Recon followers can be completely happy that they will now play a mode they like inside their favorite fictional no matter. I am torn between not desirous to rain on anybody’s parade, and pondering this parade is silly and boring.
I suppose it did matter in any case!
Ubisoft additionally introduced throughout the identical investor name that Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora had been delayed.
