Naturligvis er det, til dels, almindelige at store udgivere enten lukker projekter ned, udskyder titler eller rebooter interne spil for at lave om i kernedesignet. Men samtidig har vi også erfaret, at Ubisoft aflyser og rebooter særdeles ofte, og derfor er der blevet sammensat en ret omfattende liste over alle de projekter der har gennemgået drastiske ændringer de seneste år.
Listen er blevet sammenfattet af adskillige brugere på Reddit, og lader til at være ret præcis i forhold til lækkede informationer og bekræftede vidnesbyrd fra udviklere. Dog skal du naturligvis tage det her med et gran salt. Vi har indsat listen som den fremgår herunder.
2026:
Project League: A co-op Assassin's Creed game, originally conceived as a DLC for AC Shadows.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake: In development since 2020, and cancelled after rebooting development. It was really close to getting released.
Three unannounced titles (New IPs) and a mobile game
2025:
Star Wars Outlaws 2: Cancelled very early in development, according to Tom Henderson. Possibly scrapped due to poor sales.
Project Maverick (original version): Extraction-Based spin-off of Far Cry, initially intended to be the multiplayer component of FC7. Development was rebooted in early 2025, and some resources shifted towards FC7.
2024:
Project Pathfinder (original version of Project U): Announced in 2022 as a "new kind of session-based cooperative shooter". Development was rebooted in 2024, after the success of Helldivers 2.
Project Scarlet: Assassin's Creed game set during the post-American Civil War period. Cancelled for being deemed "too political" for the current climate in the US.
The Division: Heartland: A free-to-play, PvEvP extraction-survival shooter. Cancelled to prioritize "bigger" projects like XDefiant (lol) and the Rainbow Six franchise.
2023:
Project Oxygen (Immortals Fenyx Rising 2): In development at Ubisoft Quebec and set in a fictionalized Polynesian archipelago. Cancelled to prioritize more established IPs.
Project Q: A stylized 3rd-person PVPVE game made in Unreal Engine 5. Cancelled to shift priority to other projects.
Project Renaissance: A Minecraft-type voxel game where you could create different worlds. After its cancellation between February and May 2023, it turned into another game internally named Project Alterra.
2022:
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Frontline: A free-to-play, first-person shooter. Developed by Ubisoft Bucharest and announced in 2021. Cancelled due to bad reception.
Splinter Cell VR: Announced to be in development by Ubisoft Redstorm in 2020 and eventually cancelled due to the results of cost reduction.
Two unannounced titles.
2021:
The Story of Rayman/Rayman Forever: A remake of the original Rayman with the working titles "Rayman: Forever" and "The Story of Rayman". It was scrapped in 2021, according to a former Ubisoft VFX artist.
Project Reaper (original version of TD Heartland): A standalone battle royale of The Division that was shelved in 2021 due to poor player feedback. It restarted development in 2022, due to Hyper Scape shutting down, and became Heartland, which also got cancelled.
2019:
Project Pioneer: A sci-fi game with non-violent exploration that started development around 2013 and was teased inside Watch Dogs 2. According to Kotaku, it got rebooted into a co-op multiplayer alien shooter.
Project Avalon: A medieval fantasy RPG with elements of magic and swordplay, loosely based on King Arthur. Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw was directing the project.
Sequel to Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame: A 2D sequel to the 1993 game, developed by Ubisoft Montpellier. It was cancelled in 2019, according to Jordan Mechner.
2018:
Project Falcon (original version of XDefiant): A monster-hunting game that Ubisoft San Francisco was developing. It ended up being reworked and became XDefiant.
Project Ion: Another sci-fi title that was being developed by Ubisoft Redstorm. There's not much information surrounding this project, so it might just be an earlier iteration of Pioneer.
