Ubisoft Confirms Multiple Delays To Major Games To Focus On Quality

Expert Verified By

Ubisoft Wants To Prioritize Quality Over Quantity!

Story Highlight
  • Ubisoft has confirmed multiple delays to high-profile projects in its latest financial report.
  • Franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Splinter Cell will be impacted by this decision.
  • Ubisoft intends to maximize the quality of its output through this strategy.

Ubisoft has shared its latest financial results, reiterating the strong results from Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The publisher has also shared its plans for the future, highlighting the fact that various important projects have now been pushed back.

As per the gaming giant, this is being done in an attempt to prioritize quality above all else.

Why it matters: Ubisoft previously delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows for the same reason, and the results were largely positive. The gaming giant likely hopes to find similar or greater success moving forward.

According to Ubisoft, the company’s biggest projects are being given additional development time and resources for the best possible odds of success. The company now expects a very busy release schedule in FY26-FY28 compared to FY25-FY26.

The group has decided to provide additional development time to some of its biggest productions.

This change comes after Ubisoft joined forces with Tencent to form a new subsidiary as part of a broader shift in its business strategy.

Although the gaming giant has yet to specify IPs and games, reports indicate that both Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry will be impacted by this decision. The much-anticipated Splinter Cell Remake is also expected to receive additional development time.

Moreover, this should mean that the next few months will be fairly light for the publisher. This should prove to be a nice change of pace after major high-profile releases like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and more over the last few years.

One game that seems unimpacted by this decision appears to be Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake. As per the financial report, this project is still on track to arrive by March 2026.
