Assassins Creed Shadows delay prompts Ubisoft to announce internal review of the company
Ubisoft has announced a comprehensive internal review led by its Executive Committee and Board of Directors in response to recent financial struggles.
The company, known for its flagship franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, revealed the move in a financial statement following a series of setbacks, including the delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and the underperformance of Star Wars Outlaws.
The statement emphasized the need for “greater efficiency” while maintaining a “player-centric approach,” signaling the company’s intent to improve operations and financial performance.
Ubisoft also reaffirmed its commitment to creating games for a broad audience, amid recent polarized comments regarding its content direction.
At the time of the announcement, Ubisoft’s stock price had fallen to €11.42, marking a significant drop over the past few months. According to a report by Insider Gaming, dwindling player numbers in Games like XDefiant and lackluster sales of Star Wars Outlaws have contributed to the stock’s decline, bringing it to a near 10-year low.
Current and former Ubisoft employees expressed that the internal review was inevitable, with some pointing to poor management as a key factor in the company’s struggles. More details on Ubisoft’s internal challenges and the review process are expected in the coming weeks.
