The journalist added that the cancellation is the consequences of a newUbisoft strategy. After the failure of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, the company postponed Rainbow Six Quarantine, Gods & Monsters and Watch Dogs: Legion and decided to focus on unique projects. The French already have The Division 2, which directly competes for the attention of Destiny players, so there is no need to talk about uniqueness.
At the same time, Carufel noted that Ubisoftdid not fire the team of more than 200 employees working on the unannounced game. The developers were transferred to other projects, of which there are now more than 15. Management even allowed employees to choose the teams with which they want to work next.
“Although I am saddened, I now understand that I haveThere was an opportunity to master a new engine and meet new people. Some of these games will be released in 2020, others are in the early stages of development. It won’t be easy for me to choose,” – Carufel added.
Note that this is not the first secret projectUbisoft, who died in 2019. Since 2013, the French have been working on Pioneer. Initially, the project was more reminiscent of No Man's Sky, then it turned into a cooperative shooter, and eventually died completely. All the same ideas and developments became the basis for Rainbow Six Quarantine. It is possible that Destiny from Ubisoft will also be revived, but in a different form.
