Ubisoft's large-scale "Border Blockade 2: Survivor" was unveiled at the Cologne exhibition a few days ago, attracting attention. The developer's on-site interview revealed many development anecdotes. A core developer said that when the company launched a project to restart the new expansion project of "Border Blockade 2", there were only 5 members of the development team at that time.
·The Division 2: Survivors, Ubisoft calls it a "survival evacuation experience" and is scheduled to be launched in 2026. It is also the latest major part of the long-term support of "The Division 2".
·Palle Hoffstein, artistic director of Massive Entertainment studio, shared the past when the new expansion pack of "Lockdown 2" was resurrected. In 201, the original planned development roadmap of "Lockdown 2" was successfully completed, but the game did not achieve the expected success.
·Ubisoft listed another list of disappointed game players in the shareholders' Q&A conference in 2019. "Grandlock 2" listed it. It was during this period that the plan to "restart" "Grandlock 2" was in the process of brewing, and it was planned to regain reputation again. However, there were only 5 members of the development team participating in the plan at that time.
·Development members also understand that restarting a "bad work" is much more difficult than directly producing a new IP. However, with the efforts of these five heroes, the new "Local Blockade 2" has gradually restored its reputation, which seems too ironic in the practice of Ubisoft's other projects that can often scale hundreds of people.
