Following a sequence of poorly-performing mediocre video games, Ubisoft appears to be present process some kind of an awakening. The corporate introduced final month that along with canceling Murderer’s Creed Shadows‘ season cross, it’s scrapping the sport’s early entry. In consequence, Ubisoft has now confirmed a value drop for the sport’s collector’s version.
What subsequent for Ubisoft video games?
Ubisoft introduced the $50 value drop ($229.99 from $279.99) for AC Shadows’ collector’s version just lately in a Discord submit. The transfer got here after Star Wars Outlaws bombed, and the corporate determined to reevaluate its methods.
It’s onerous to think about that Ubisoft won’t ever return to season passes and early entry since they’ve turn out to be an trade staple lately. However in the meanwhile a minimum of, the corporate appears to have realized that model energy alone isn’t sufficient to promote lackluster video games with bells and whistles.
Ubisoft has an extended street forward if it desires to return to its former glory. Quite a lot of its workplaces (greater than 700 staff) are at present hanging after the corporate determined to power distant staff to upend their lives and transition into an workplace setting. It’s at present going through a lawsuit for allegedly sharing customers’ knowledge with Meta. There are stories of a possible buyout after stakeholders expressed dissatisfaction with the founding Guillemot household.
To high it off, Ubisoft was left embarrassed after AC Shadows’ collector’s version’s statue revealed an insensitive design that it ended up having to tug. Suffice to say, Ubisoft’s turmoil is much from over.
