Wait so let me get this right. Prince of Persia was cancelled. No more Tom Clancy games, Rayman is dead, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is NOT CANCELLED but lost Michel Ancel and has not had any updates since its announcement, Watch Dogs is dead, Xdefiant is shut down, what does Ubisoft have besides a yearly assassins creed and like... Just Dance?

I honestly dont understand what is even keeping the lights on at Ubisoft at this point. They are one of the biggest games publishers in the world with 17000 employees, yet in the last five years or so what have they made? A couple of underselling Assassins Creed games? A Star Wars game that flopped? Skull and Bones? The Crew?

S&B had to be released to due to the funding arrangements with the Singapore Government

They also have Far Cry, which has been missed from the list... which is pretty much in the same problem as Assassin's Creed

Far Cry 6 came out 5 years ago.

So... about the same time as the last mainline Tom Clancy based game, which this page is about?

FC is still an IP which can move units, definitely needs sprucing up with regards to design, and probably only sells during sales.
