Ubisoft has a promo video on their website. No gameplay, but I assume that they aren’t gonna pay what it’d take to make that as a joke.

The good news is that work on the game is still under way. The bad news is that its actual release date is just as unclear as ever.

For those keeping track, that means it’s been almost fifteen years since Ubisoft released its first trailer for the game, which is longer than it took to get gaming’s other development-hell classic Duke Nukem Forever out the door.

The company made a big splash when it released a new trailer for the game at E3 2017, but at the time director Michel Ancel cautioned that the team was still at “day zero” of development. Following his departure from the company in 2020, reports emerged that Ancel was under investigation for his allegedly toxic management style.

It sounds a lot less like a joke and more like enormous project management problems.
