Ubisoft to shut down Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad in October
0Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad will shut down in October, publisher Ubisoft has announced.
The free-to-play action RPG for mobile devices – developed by Owlient – was only released back in October 2020 and is a crossover game featuring characters from several Tom Clancy IPs including The Division, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, and EndWar.
In a blog post on the Elite Squad website titled “The Story Ends”, Ubisoft shared that the most recent update for the game will be the last and they will shut down the servers on October 4.
They wrote: “It is with a great deal of sadness that we are announcing we will no longer be releasing new content for Elite Squad.
“Today’s update will be our last, and on October 4th, 2021 we will shut the servers down.
This was not an easy decision, but after exploring multiple options with our teams, we came to the conclusion that it was no longer sustainable.
“We want to assure you all that we really gave it our best, especially with big updates like Season 2, and it was a truly rewarding experience to work with you, our passionate community!
We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed playing with us as much as we have enjoyed making the game and engaging with you all on social media and Discord.
“We hope that some of you stick around with us and have fun reaching level 70 and unlocking all of the soldiers you can before we say goodbye.
“Thanks to all of you for playing the game.”
