Seems like Ubisoft is going to remove Assassin's Creed: Liberation from Steam and block people who own it from playing it

Retirement of online servers - September 2022

Hello everyone,

We have created this pinned thread to advise you that a decision was made to retire the online functionality and servers for this game on PC, starting September 2022.

Closing the online services for some of our older and lesser played online game modes will allow us to focus our resources on our newer or more popular titles and deliver a great experience.

This means that you will be unable to >>
- Play multiplayer game modes
- Use online features
- Access/install/play DLC
- Access in-game Ubisoft Connect Rewards
- Link Ubisoft accounts in-game

Thank you for all the love and support you have shown this title over the past few years.

 

 

 

So it seems to me that you'll still be able to play the SP game, but you'll lose access to DLC and online features/modes.

 

That's fine as I'd never play that shit now anyway... but there's conflicting reports about it out there.

it had online features?

 

it felt like that was one of the most straightforward and simplest games out of all the AssCreed games.

Yeah they're shutting down the online features for a bunch of games
