Earlier this week, news surfaced that Ubisoft, the company known for franchises like Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, and Far Cry, had undergone a significant internal restructuring. Despite the recent success of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which received rave reviews, the studio announced that it had disbanded the team responsible for the game. Abdelhak Elguess, the senior producer of The Lost Crown, confirmed this to GameSpot, stating that "most of the team members who worked on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown have transitioned to other projects that will leverage their skills." Although Elguess clarified that this does not signal the end of Ubisoft's involvement with the series, it appears unlikely that the original developers will reunite for a sequel. This move is just the latest in a string of questionable decisions by the game company, which also saw last-minute changes to the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows and has provided no updates on titles like the Splinter Cell Remake and Beyond Good and Evil 2. This week on Spot On, Tam and Lucy delve into the studio's recent choices and what they might signify for its future.
