Go home and play some Kirby, man. (Those games are joy incarnate)

I think they have it listed as something handled by the "Creative House" dedicated to their smaller brands. Seems like they're giving up on it as a massive thing, but still holding onto it for possible smaller projects (like RPoP and TLC), albeit alongside other series without much recent love...
From the VGC article "Ubisoft details ‘major company reset’: 6 games canned, 7 delayed, and 2 studios closed":

CH2, dedicated to “competitive and cooperative shooter experiences”, including The Division, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell.

CH3, which will operate a roster of “select, sharp Live experiences”, such as For Honor, The Crew, Riders Republic, Brawlhalla, and Skull & Bones.

CH4, which will focus on fantasy worlds and narrative-driven universes like Anno, Might & Magic, Rayman, Prince of Persia, and Beyond Good & Evil.

CH5, which Ubisoft says is aimed at “reclaiming [our] position in casual and family-friendly games” in brands including Just Dance, Uno, and Hasbro.

Kit reminds me of my lost little lad. He was the loveliest ball of fluff.

Man, I've still got the Unity project from when you talked about the issue on DF Direct. Just checked and that was nearly four years ago at this point(!)

So much of what’s happening right now is just so abhorrent. I’m thankful that people with audiences are speaking up against the injustices. I’m also thankful that I still have countless treasures left to play, let alone discover. I just beat Game Boy Donkey Kong, and it’s just so great.

How can there be hatred in the world when we have Kirby Super Star?
