They cancelled so many other games but they keep this one alive? Any bets that they're going to try to make it a PvPvE extraction shooter game that will be DOA?

From what I understand, Ubisoft received a grant from the Singapore government that basically mandates this game be published, as opposed to the recent Hyenas cancelation.

Relevant quote;

The company, in exchange for generous subsidies, is required to hit a certain hiring quota and launch original IPs in the next few years, making it imperative that the title gets shipped by hook or by crook – final look notwithstanding.

Right, but they should have just released it knowing it was going to die, unless they continue to receieve funding if they keep delaying it? Its just a money pit by this point and the faster they dump it the faster they can stop sinking money into it.

It's been established for a couple years now that it's already going to be DOA. Ubisoft games almost are as a default these days, but this one in particular seems extra cursed.

Well it wasnt originally going to be DOA, but then they showed gameplay.
