Today, Ubisoft announced that six of their titles for the Wii U system launch in North America on November 18 are ready for retail. These include Assassin's Creed III, ESPN Sports Connection, Just Dance 4, Rabbids Land, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 and ZombiU.
After delaying its upcoming release, Ubisoft is reportedly planning to release an Assassin's Creed game every six months for the next decade.
Oh geez, no. AC Valhalla is still on my backlog, and I haven't even considered picking up AC Mirage yet.
I don't hate them, I really get into them at times, but I can only play them once every 2-3 years or else the fatigue sets in.
I remember when AC went with a yearly release and some of the games turned out to be buggy then they just got boring. Then Ubisoft did a 360 and started to release AC every other year or two. I don't know if this plan will be a good one or backfire for Ubisoft. Pretty soon AC will be no different then an EA sports game same shit different year.
I think henderson modified his previous assessment.
Ubi wants to do new mainline AC every two years. like AC Shadows in 2024 and Hexe in 2026/7
In between two mainline new AC entries would be non-mainline releases like Invictus standalone AC MP game for 2025, Black Flag Remake either before or after Hexe and smaller title etc ...
Shadows was supposed to be late-2024 title but getting delayed to early-2025 and Invictus releasing in late 2025 doesn't necessarily mean that there'd two AC titles every year.
This is the AC annual fatigue that Ubi introduced initially and then moved away from ... don't think they'll reintroduce.
On Today's Ubisoft earnings call, Ubisoft CFO announced that Activision-Blizzard games would be coming to Ubisoft+ between January and March of 2025 (but only via the cloud). We've still got plenty of questions about what this means for Amazon Luna, GeForce NOW and Xcloud.
Yeah. There are more questions for sure. Also, why is Call of duty on Xcloud? I think Microsoft paid for the rights to stream just COD specifically, not other Activision games. All to drive up game pass subs.
Ubisoft announced its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year 2024-2025, and they're not good.
This isn’t surprising at all…..
In unrelated news… scientists discover that water is wet
I mean I just don't buy a product with Ubisoft's name attached to it anymore. Doesn't matter how strong the IP is that they licence. Until they get away from making cookie cutter assassins creed reskinmed open world games I won't buy any of their stuff. That also includes all the horrible anti consumer business practices.
'transforming the Company into a more efficient and agile organization.'.
This is at least the second time I've seen a statement along these lines.
So leadership is responsible for running an inefficient organization all this time?
As for agile, that's a meaningless buzzword that isn't measurable. Being measurable is something they will require to become more efficient...
