While some fans speculated about a possible Rainbow Six Siege 2, Ubisoft has clarified that this is not a sequel, but a massive upgrade designed to propel the game into its second decade of live service. Often compared to the redemption stories of Final Fantasy XIV and No Man’s Sky, Siege has defied expectations, turning into a major pillar of Ubisoft’s financial success—especially as other live-service projects from the company have struggled. Sony has reportedly scrapped a live service God of War project in development at Bluepoint Games, the studio best known for its high-quality remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls. Given Bluepoint’s pedigree for remakes and remasters, speculation has already begun regarding whether the studio might pivot back to revamping another PlayStation classic rather than attempting a new live service venture. The details surrounding these cancellations remain vague, with no official word on what the God of War live service game would have entailed.
