As announced officially by Ubisoft and Wolfpack on 3/1/2004, Ubisoft has acquired Wolfpack Studios, developers of the much mal-aligned Shadowbane MMORPG.
While obviously a good deal for the developers to unload this as many has made serious personal investments, the question is what Ubisoft's intentions are beyond good press after the cancellation of URU Online and loss of a publishing deal for Matrix Online.
Due to poor handling of a number of games including Shadowbane the reputation of the company has been severely damaged, a good portion of gamers refusing to buy any title published by UBI.
