Overview
- The remake launched in early July and posted franchise‑best Steam peak and multi‑million first‑day sales, giving the title a powerful commercial start.
- Game director Richard Knight said New Game Plus is in early development and that a senior programmer is building an option to hide the Blowpipe.
- Ubisoft acknowledged the team removed several original combat mechanics during development to focus on core combat and said it is listening to player feedback about restoring features.
- The studio will not publish a fixed post‑launch roadmap and will follow a loose, community‑driven schedule for updates rather than set release dates.
- Layoffs at Ubisoft Barcelona and a subsequent three‑day strike by affected staff have raised internal morale and public scrutiny that could shape how Ubisoft handles post‑launch work and communication.
