game cancellation
Ubisoft has discontinued its cozy life simulation game Alterra, inspired by Animal Crossing and Minecraft, following nearly three years of development at Ubisoft Montréal. Staff were informed of the cancellation on April 21 and sent home for the day, with employees reassigned to other projects within the company. Ubisoft confirmed its practice of assessing projects but did not directly address Alterra.

Eidos-Montréal has laid off roughly 124 employees and cancelled an unannounced open-world game tentatively titled Wildlands, according to a report by Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson. Studio head David Anfossi is also leaving the Embracer-owned studio. The project, in development since early 2019, had consumed significant resources.
