According to Amouranth, her Just Dance account was banned after a hacker changed her username to something inappropriate. Amouranth reached out to Ubisoft and the official Just Dance Twitter account to see if she could get the ban reversed, as she would otherwise lose all of her high scores. It seems that the people responsible for breaking into Amouranth’s Just Dance account were able to do so thanks to a Just Dance data breach that happened in late December of last year.

Amouranth received a response from the official Just Dance Twitter account about the issue. Just Dance responded by saying that the developers are aware of the problem and working on a solution. “We will have more info to share on this soon!” No timetable was provided for when the overarching issue may be fixed or when Amouranth’s account will be restored.
Just Dance, for the uninitiated, is a long-running dancing game series that has seen at least one new entry every year since the first game launched in 2009. Often featured in bizarre E3 skits, Ubisoft has kept Just Dance as one of its premiere titles, with 2022 likely set to see yet another entry in the Just Dance franchise. While nothing has been announced just yet, chances are good that the new Just Dance game will be revealed around E3 time.
The only question is if the game will be revealed as part of a traditional E3 press conference or if it will be shown off through another Ubisoft Forward presentation. Ubisoft Forward is essentially the company’s answer to Nintendo Direct, where it uses these presentations to highlight its upcoming games outside usual gaming events. It’s possible that Ubisoft will stick with Ubisoft Forward presentations moving forward, but it’s also possible that it will have a presence at this coming E3.
As for Amouranth, she will likely continue to stream on Twitch regularly and make content for other platforms. Amouranth has ambitious goals and it will be interesting to see just how long she is able to stay at the top of the Twitch streaming world.
