The October 1 deadline for Ubisoft online servers will only affect the PC versions of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed 3, Far Cry 3, and Splinter Cell Blacklist - players who own these titles on consoles will still be able to access online content after the cutoff.
At the same time, we want to make this process as seamless as possible for our players." Hence, the planned decommissioning date for titles like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed 3, Far Cry 3, and Splinter Cell Blacklist has been pushed back from September 1 to October 1, meaning that players will still be able to access any and all single-player DLC from these titles for the time being. " We want our players to enjoy optimal gameplay experiences without things breaking, potentially subjecting players to crashes and security breaches. "Decommissioning online services for older games is something we don't take lightly, but it's also a necessity as the technology that drove those services becomes obsolete," Ubisoft explained in a public statement earlier today.
Now, Ubisoft has announced that it is putting the brakes on any future online server shutdowns for the time being, as reported by PC Gamer.

Ubisoft would later clarify that the base versions of Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD and Silent Hunter 5 would still be available to players who bought them, and that only DLC and online services for Ubisoft games would be affected by the shutdown. Ubisoft initially claimed that this wave of shutdowns was meant to allow the publisher more room to focus on newer or more popular titles, but fans of the older Ubisoft games in question were naturally upset at the thought of losing access to content that they paid for - even if the nature of online game sales means that these players only ever purchased a license to said content rather than the content itself.
