Ubisoft is struggling to emerge from one of the most difficult periods in its history. After the worst Star Wars Outlaws with sales below expectations and delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows it promises a change of course and the beginning of a new chapter.
CEO Yves Guillemot said during the earnings presentation that Ubisoft will pay more attention to the gameplay of its games and the wishes of fans.. In short, the company wants to satisfy the wishes of players and offer interesting games with great sales potential. Here’s how Guillemot responded to player complaints surrounding the black samurai Yasuke in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Players also don’t like other historical authenticities.
Ubisoft intends to focus more on the player in everything it does. Guillemot promises that they will dedicate additional time to making their upcoming ambitious title in the flagship series Assassin’s Creed Shadows it will be an exceptional and flawless experience from day one.
Ubisoft can’t afford to delay the release of an action role-playing game set in feudal Japan any longer. From November/November this year they are planning to release in February/February 2025. Although in terms of content the game is ready. The extra time should give the developers the opportunity to fine-tune everything. This expansion of development should 20 million euros.
The question is whether Yves Guillemot is serious. And the most important thing is what it will bring. So far, all we’ve seen is that Ubisoft has abandoned the traditional Season Pass model and canceled Early Access for more expensive titles. As a bonus, those who pre-order Shadows will receive the first story expansion for free.
After all this, players no longer trust Ubisoft and won’t get drunk on the go as easily. Even the latest rumors do not add confidence. Insider Tom Henderson claims that The French company is reportedly planning to release a new Assassin’s Creed every six months for the next ten years.. This plan includes main series such as Shadows and Project Hexe, as well as spin-offs, mobile and free-to-play games. Back in the summer, Henderson said that 11 different games from the world of Assassin’s Creed were in development. Again, this isn’t all that surprising.
Financially, Ubisoft can thank the strength of its brands. It’s saved by the solid performance of older games. The company boasted that it registered 138 million unique players across consoles and PC over the past twelve months, up 4% from last year. The Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six Siege series have gained huge audiences, each with over 30 million unique active users.
