Ubisoft announces ‘major portfolio reset,’ cancels 6 games including Prince of Persia remake
Ubisoft has confirmed massive changes are coming to how it operates, leading to a significant re-adjustment of its portfolio and a number of cancellations.
TL;DR: Ubisoft has cancelled six games, including the Prince of Persia remake, and delayed seven others as part of a major restructuring that introduces five Creative Houses managing distinct game portfolios. This strategic shift aims to improve quality, reduce costs, and focus on key franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance.
The restructuring plan unfortunately saw multiple studios closed and games cancelled across the full portfolio. In a rare bit of transparency, Ubisoft confirms that it has cancelled 6 games, including the anticipated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. The cancelled games also include 4 unannounced titles: 3 games set in a new IP, and a single mobile game. Ubisoft stresses that the cancellation of these games will allow it to enhance quality by being more selective in which games it develops.
Ubisoft has also delayed 7 games, which is quite a significant part of this announcement. Delays will impact the company’s yearly earnings, and one of the delayed games is an unannounced title originally expected to launch in FY26. It’s possible that this refers to the Black Flag remake.
Based on reports, the company has been planning a number of new games, including a wide array of Assassin’s Creed titles like new entries alongside remakes.
Reports indicate that new games in Ubisoft’s best-selling franchises are in the works, and you can find some of those series below alongside refreshed sales figures for each.
Assassin’s Creed - 230 million+
Just Dance - 80 million+
Far Cry - 60 million+
