Ubisoft seems to have taken to heart the idea that well-done things take time. By delaying several games to give more time to the studios to polish them, spacing out their releases, it seems they have decided to take better care of their work. Ensuring the quality of their games, putting more effort into their projects, so as not to give the impression of doing careless or rushed things. Something they have only confirmed in their latest financial results.
Although they have been doing well so far this fiscal year, Ubisoft has decided to delay two of the games they had planned for release. Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence, two highly anticipated free-to-play mobile shooters, were expected to be released before March 2025, but they did not have a specific date yet. Now Ubisoft confirms that they will be released during the next fiscal year, which runs from April 2025 to March 2026.
Their reasons for delaying them have been to give them the necessary time for the games to meet their expectations. And that is why, according to Ubisoft, this fiscal year has gone quite well for them. With net income above their initial goals, reaching 290 million euros instead of a projected 275 million, they are on track to resolve the disappointing fiscal period of 2022-2023, where, due to losses, they ended up canceling several projects. Some of them high profile.
To maintain good numbers, Ubisoft has a few releases for the remaining fiscal year. On August 30th, Star Wars Outlaws will be released, but it doesn’t end there. On November 15th, they will launch Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and in 2025, they plan to release Anno 117: Pax Romana. These titles are intended to help them round out their fiscal year.
Therefore, despite the delay of its two mobile shooters, it doesn’t seem that Ubisoft will struggle to meet its economic expectations. Having surpassed those in the first half of the year, it is expected that, unless one of their two big games fails, Ubisoft will have a strong year of economic profits. This should ensure that they prepare a good catalog for the fiscal year 2025.
