March of the Giants There's no release date yet, but the development team says the next major update will arrive in 2026 and will introduce new giants, expanded competitive modes, and other “core systems.”
Overall, it's interesting to see how Amazon made the deal with Ubisoft, but it actually makes a lot of sense for both parties. First, Amazon Games struggled for yearshaving had some success in multiplayer games such as New World And Lost Ark, but also canceled a number of others, including Crucible. And in October, Amazon laid off more than 14,000 people. Bloomberg informing that “significant reduction in roles” took place in the company's gaming division. In the future, Amazon Games is expected to focus on publishing games such as recently announced tomb Raider remake and next main line tomb Raideras well as producing content for its streaming service Luna.
Meanwhile, Ubisoft found it difficult to create another multiplayer hit that went beyond the still-popular title. Rainbow Six: Siegewhich celebrates its 10th anniversary this month. Last year, Ubisoft canceled XDefiantits crossover free-to-play shooter, which followed sluggish launches of new IPs like the pirate game. Skull and crossbones and sports game Roller skating champions.
Thus, it appears that both companies are counting on the results of the initial version. Siege developers reunite with Ubisoft. It remains to be seen what will happen, but hopefully this homecoming goes well.
