Efter skuffende finansresulater og endnu en runde forsinkelser af deres kommende line-up skrev Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot en mail rundt til alle de ansatte, og slog fast at "bolden er på de ansattes banehalvdel" om at levere spillene til tiden og indenfor budget.
Med det insinuerede han også delvist, at det er de ansattes manglende vilje til at levere der havde placeret virksomheden i den situation de sidder i lige nu, men noget tyder på at det er noget helt andet. Under en ny investorbriefing har piben fået en lidt anden lyd, og Guillemot siger nu at forsinkelser og aflysninger skyldes at Ubisoft tidligere har arbejdet på alt for mange spilprojekter ad gangen:
"We cancelled a few games because we needed to make space for other games that are in devleopment in the company, and that's really helping all the other games that are progressing well. Now we feel we have the right number of games, knowing that we will launch a lot of games in financial year '24 that will also give space for the other games that are on the way in the company. If we look at 24 months, the number of games in the company in work in the company will go down quite a lot, and that will give more space to all the games we have on the way. Having said that, we know that many of those games are also going to have post-launch content, and this will take a certain number of teams and talents to actually create that content."
Vi har allerede en idé om hvad de har i sinde at lancere, nemlig Assassin's Creed Mirage, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, The Crew Motorfest, et hemmeligt stort spil, samt en række mobilspil.
