Assassin’s Creed Shadows was supposed to be out next month. Ubisoft announced last week that the open-world RPG would be pushed to February 25 thanks to “soft” Star Wars Outlaws sales. The team says it will be using lessons learned to improve the game ...
To many, it comes as no surprise that Star Wars Outlaws has only sold 1 million copies since it launched. This game was set to be Ubisoft's biggest game, as this is the game that they funneled the most time and money into, but it has been a huge detriment to Ubisoft and has led to Ubisoft's share prices dropping to a stark low. While some gamers have enjoyed this game, it has received a bunch of low scores and, as a result, has only sold a million in the month of its release. As a result of the failure […]

Ubisoft, one of the biggest third-party publishers in the games industry, is forced to navigate troublesome waters. Following several less-than-successful game releases, such as the long-delayed Skull & Bones, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and more recently, Star Wars Outlaws, the company's stock crashed hard. To turn the tide around, Ubisoft made some sweeping changes to its strategy. First, it canceled its Tokyo Game Show 2024 appearance and planned Assassin's Creed Shadows, a prelude to the game's delay from November 2024 to February 2025. The additional time is meant to help avoid the same fate of Star Wars Outlaws, allowing for […]
Having been delayed to early 2025, Assassin's Creed Shadows is now in direct competition with Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei, but this won't be a problem for the new entry in the long-running open-world series, according to Ubisoft's CEO. As reported by IGN, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot commented on the two games launching in the same year, saying that there's a lot of space for very high-quality games and that the two games can both sell well. Assassin's Creed Shadows, in particular, will set itself apart from the competing game with its dual protagonists and the two different complementary gameplay […]
