Ubisoft revealed that Year 9 Season 3 update will be called Operation Twin Shells in a preview for an upcoming reveal panel for the entire season that will premiere on August 25, 2024.
It’s not surprising that Ubisoft would introduce a wheelchair bound operator. The company has made it abundantly clear that it is committed to diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
The company’s Vice President of Global Diversity and Inclusion Raashi Sikka stated, “For Ubisoft, putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do means providing an environment where employees can thrive, building open-minded communities where players can connect, and creating games that reflect the diversity of the world we live in.”
“We will not accomplish all these goals overnight. Just as it takes years of iteration to develop a AAA title, we will only become a more diverse and inclusive company by continuously improving, trying new ideas and learning from the results. It’s a long-term commitment, one that we will tackle with the same passion and dedication that we bring to our games,” Sikka added.
