- Daniel Vavra thinks that Ubisoft can make 10 games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
- The director stated that the company’s 16,600 headcount could amount to 70 Warhorse-sized studios.
- The Warhorse developer also asked fans on Twitter whether he should buy Ubisoft stock after the share price declined.
Once again, Ubisoft’s annual financial report has painted a bleak picture of the French gaming giant. The publisher reported a loss of €1.3 billion due to a softer release schedule and a costly restructuring it underwent last year.
The company has decreased its headcount by almost 1000 employees in the last year alone, prioritising AI utilisation in development instead. However, despite layoffs on such a scale, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s director thinks that Ubisoft has enough staff to build 70 new Warhorse studios.
Why it matters: With respect to its employee count, Ubisoft’s output is not as high as it should be, and the publisher is only releasing one major AAA title this year.
In a post on X, Daniel Vavra reacted to the recent Ubisoft earnings report, stating that the company’s 16,600 employees could amount to 70 Warhorse-sized studios. The developer commented that if the publisher wanted, it could make 10 games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and release them every year, one by one.
Vavra’s reaction to Ubisoft’s output, in contrast to its massive size, does make sense considering how Warhorse is making two open-world RPGs at the same time, despite only employing 250 developers. On the other hand, the French publisher’s only major AAA title of 2026 is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
However, Ubisoft has promised to bounce back and release new games for all of its key IPs, like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, in the next three years. The French gaming giant has already put another Assassin’s Creed remake in production and is working on a new Ghost Recon title in addition to other key projects.
Due to such a promising release schedule, Daniel Vavra asked his fans if he should buy Ubisoft stock, as the company’s share price fell by 18% to just €3.93 because it reported €1.3 billion in losses last year.
Do you think the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 director would do a better job at running Ubisoft? Should the French publisher increase its output? Tell us in the comments below or head to the Tech4Gamers forum for discussion.
