Ubisoft finally allows players to preserve DLCs of older Assassin s Creed games following massive protests
By
Arka "Biasedguy" Sarkar Modified 01 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Players will now be able to preserve the DLCs of older games (Image via Ubisoft) Assassin's Creed is Ubisoft's largest ever franchise by many counts, and there have been several games that have delighted fans over the past two decades. However, there was disheartening news earlier that the company is looking to close the online service of certain games. However, the France-based gaming studio appears to have returned to its earlier decision, even if that's temporary.

Earlier in the year, Ubisoft announced that it would be terminating the online services of several older titles. It goes well beyond Assassin's Creed, as other iconic titles like Anno 2070 would have met the same fate. Naturally, fans were highly displeased with it.

With Ubisoft s change of plans Assassin s Creed fans can finally breathe easy
As mentioned earlier, Ubisoft had announced the decision to decommission the online support for several older titles it owns. While the company never adequately explained why most feel it's to cut down on costs.

There have been rumors of financial troubles and potential takeovers as well. There are further changes that will undoubtedly appease the fans. Had the earlier decision been followed, all the games on the list would have stopped operating today (September 1).

The biggest news comes for Anno 2070, as the city builder has been completely removed from the list. While the multiplayer aspect of the other games will be removed, players can at least preserve all DLCs. In simpler words, the game's future is safe for the foreseeable time being.
