Ubisoft and Its Action Shooter Franchise
Ubisoft is still banking on the popularity of its Tom Clancy-based video game franchise as it is the remaining action shooter experience available from the company after "XDefiant's" downfall and eventual shutdown later this year.
That being said, the company is continuing support for "Rainbow Six Siege," its 10-year-old online action shooter title, but the plan to overhaul it and bring a new experience is already on the horizon and is expected for later this year.
