Forced to witness the deaths of his family at the hands of a corrupt regime, Ezio takes on the role of a young Assassin, leaving everything behind to exact revenge on the mysterious and secretive Templar order. Join Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a Florentine nobleman, on his journey through Renaissance Italy to unravel a growing conspiracy. Don’t miss out on diving into Ezio’s original adventure on PC, because once you download the game during the free period, it’s yours to keep. But being a multiplayer only title, the shutting down of online services means it will be completely unplayable.Our month-long series of free offers has already featured such titles as Rayman Legends and Child of Light, and now you can get yourself a copy of Assassin’s Creed II completely free from April 14 to April 17. While a majority of the list is older titles, Space Junkies is a bit of an outlier as it only came out in 2019. Here's the full list of games that are losing functionality:

Shutting down online servers is one thing, but it just plain sucks that people will lose access to something they paid for for what seems like no good reason. The biggest problem is that for titles like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, 3, and Far Cry 3 on PC, even if you paid for it you'll no longer be able to access or even download the DLC for the game. The list includes some bigger name titles like Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, and 3, as well as Far Cry 3 and Rayman Legends. Explaining in the announcement post, Ubisoft wrote "Closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles." The titles listed will lose multiplayer from September 1, later this year.
