Ubisoft intends on focus on its "strengths" of creating open-world games, as well as move live-service titles.

Remedy Entertainment cancels Project Kestrel to focus on other games in its portfolio, including the Max Payne remake and Control 2. Initially codenamed Vanguard, the game was set to be a free-to-play title before a reboot. The decision to cancel suggests it did not meet expectations despite early promise and Tencent co-financing.
