02The evidence
A disastrous October 2019 launch (server outages day one, loot-shooter backlash, poor sales) gave way to about 2.5 years of substantial support, including survey-driven AI teammates and the Ghost Experience mode. Ubisoft ended new content April 2022 with servers kept online.
- Patch speed 14: launch-day server outage fixed quickly and ~11 updates shipped steadily, but Episode 2 and the immersive mode slipped months behind schedule.
- Maintenance quality 14: sustained 2.5 years with raids, crossovers, and Operation Motherland; ended on typical Ubisoft cadence but left the game in maintenance mode while still sold.
- Communication 13: an October 2019 'moving forward' letter and community survey were open, yet February 2020 radio silence forced a public apology for the delayed update.
- Player responsiveness 17: AI teammates and the tiered-loot removal came straight from community feedback, but the game imposed the unpopular Quartz NFT platform late in its life.
