According to Ubisoft’s latest financial report, the company isn’t doing as badly as it looks. Moreover, the French would have an ace up their sleeve in the form of a hitherto unseen AAA match. Its launch is planned within a year.
Over the past few months, Ubisoft has canceled Splinter Cell VR, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Frontline, and five unannounced games (six, if Project Q wasn’t one of them). The company began to tighten its belt, while warning investors that the financial results would be far from what was expected.
The latest report from the French company, which summarizes the period from April to December 2022however, it shows that things are not so bad Indeed, the company has recorded:
- total revenue of €1.5 billion, an improvement of 6.1% compared to the same period in 2021;
- the last three months (October to December) contributed 772.5 million euros (+16% over one year);
- only game sales, DLC, subscriptions, virtual items, etc. decreased: they were 2.6% lower than in the comparable period of 2021 (726.9 million to 746.1 million).
Plus, Ubisoft probably has something up its sleeve. In a meeting with investors, information was raised on a hitherto unannounced AAA game that will be released before the end of March 2024. If so, it could be announced at this year’s E3 show, where Ubisoft plans to make an appearance, if the event takes place.
Thus, next year, the French will make the first at least seven major titles. Assuming there are no delays, these will be:
Also in development is Far Cry 7 (probably), a remake of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Beyond Good & Evil 2 and various installments of the Assassin’s Creed series, which saw a 30% increase in player numbers from of April. to December 2022, setting a new record. Player count increased by a similar percentage for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. Focusing on big brands and fewer games released throughout the year should be Ubisoft’s way of improving the ratings..
