The original discussions that AC Black Flag remake has no drunk animations are fake and were already disproven (by devs who were extremely confused — like why the hell is this even such a drama?)

According to Insider-Gaming (Tom Henderson), after the annual loss of over a billion euros Ubisoft is shutting down several offices around the world and shrinking down many teams, including the one that works on Rainbow Six Siege... in total, about 380 people lost their jobs during these "structural changes".

Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake is still set to be released in time and the company has a lot of hopes for it. The preorders are record-breaking.

SPOILER: Well, AC Shadows did this in the final update! He has been found by templars and is canonically gone now.

Yep, as expected

Claude Guillemot, one of five brothers founded Ubisoft, died in a small aircraft (Cessna 421) crash.

He once saved the family business in early days, helping with diversification from agriculture into music CDs and other media distribution.

That supported the family financially and built its initial network to distribute games in France, which then became Ubisoft. He was later responsible for their expansion in Asia and some R&D stuff, and general operations. And was not a part of scandals, so, sad loss no doubt.

He was also the owner of gaming peripherals brands Trustmaster and Hercules.

Sea shanties, anyone?

POV: You bought a Ubisoft game...

POV: Ubisoft sales are higher than expected and so players can't get into the game since not enough servers...

Also, same as in many of their games, cutscenes are locked at 30 FPS which crushes the VRR (GSync/FreeSync) on the majority of monitors and make all these moments stutter like hell.
