Following the closure of XDefiant and its studios, Yves Guillemet sent an internal memo about its future to Ubisoft employees.

Several sources have revealed that Ubisoft will be shutting down XDefiant in June 2025.

Following a hectic period before Citizencon, during which staff were mandated to work 7-day work weeks, Cloud Imperium Games have just reportedly laid off some of its staff.

Ubisoft has a new project in development under the codename Alterra that will be a new social-sim that uses voxel creation and will be akin to the likes of Animal Crossing.

Just a few months after its announcement, Rebellion has canceled its Sniper Elite Battle Royale game, Archipelago.

Ubisoft’s Project U returned to the drawing board this year following five years of development.
