Ubisoft assured fans that base games will not be decommissioned and that recently announced changes will only affect DLCs and certain features of 15 titles later this year. The clarification comes after players found an alert on Steam that suggested they will lose access to “Assassin’s Creed Liberation” even if they own the game.
The 2012 installment of the “Assassin’s Creed” franchise made headlines this week after its Steam page displayed alerts, notifying players that “Liberation” will no longer be available on Steam “at the request of the publisher.” Another notice also initially said the game “will not be accessible” after Sept. 1.

Twitter user Nors3, who was one of the first to notice earlier notices, pointed out the irony of the Steam announcements since the “Assassin’s Creed: Liberation” was just offered with a 75 percent discount a few days earlier. But Ubisoft has since clarified that anyone who bought the game will still be able to play the game even after the said date.
“Only DLCs and online features will be affected by the upcoming decommissioning,” Ubisoft senior corporate communications manager Jessica Roache told The Verge. “Current owners of those games will still be able to access, play, or redownload them.”
The notice has been changed saying the base game will still be playable and also Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD is back on Steam at original 19,99€ price.

In the same statement, Ubisoft said it is working with store partners to display more accurate information about the affected games. But it was not clear why “Assassin’s Creed: Liberation” initially got very specific notices on Steam. Meanwhile, Nors3 pointed out that the Steam notice has already changed to specify only the DLC will be decommissioned after Ubisoft offered a clarification.
A full list of games with online services and DLCs that will be decommissioned at the beginning of September is available on a Ubisoft support page. Once the changes are in effect, “Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD” players can no longer link their Ubisoft accounts and they will lose access to its DLC.
Similar changes will be applied to several “Assassin’s Creed” titles and other older games, such as “Far Cry 3,” “Ghost Recon Future Soldier,” “Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands,” “Silent Hunter 5,” and “Splinter Cell: Blacklist.” But the Ubisoft support page notes that remastered versions of the listed games will not be decommissioned.
