Critical Reception and Development History
The title captured what made previous entries successful while refining gameplay by opting for a 2D perspective.
Despite receiving critical acclaim, Ubisoft disbanded the team behind the game after it failed to meet sales expectations, and plans for a sequel were reportedly scrapped in favor of shifting developers to other projects.
Since launch, the game has received updates, story downloadable content, and a mobile port, though the possibility of a sequel remains unlikely.
