Ubisoft Server Migration Will Take Some Of Its Games Offline
Ubisoft is moving its games from a "third-party data" center to a new in-house facility. On February 7th, as the transfer happens, most of its games will not be playable online -- and some won't be playable at all.
Six Ubisoft games will not be playable in any form on February 7th. Here is the complete list:
-- Assassin's Creed - Mac
-- Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 - PC
-- Might & Magic: Heroes VI - PC
-- Splinter Cell: Conviction - Mac
-- The Settlers 7: Path to a Kingdom - PC
-- The Settlers - Mac
Alternately, five Ubisoft games will not be affected by the transfer at all:
ANNO 2070 - PC
Assassin's Creed Revelations - OnLive, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Driver: San Francisco - OnLive, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Just Dance 3 - Xbox 360
The Settlers Online - PC (web-based)
NOTE: Ubisoft says that the online modes of all the games not mentioned in these list WILL be affected by the server migration.
