Ubisoft lamented many difficulties and disappointments when it delayed the blockbuster release date

Just recently, Ubisoft disappointed many people when announcing their blockbuster project in the early 2023 period, Skull and Bones, has continued to be delayed. Despite the extremely impressive introduction, bringing many expectations to players, but this is not the first time, Skull and Bones has missed an appointment with gamers. Accordingly, this game has started to be planned in 2018 but has been delayed quite a few times. At that time, Ubisoft said that Skull and Bones still had a lot of things to improve.

However, in the recent announcement of the decision to stop this project, Ubisoft admitted that it was facing many difficulties. Specifically, the company shared that the world game industry is gradually turning to the development of large, long-standing game brands that can reach players globally, and Ubisoft itself is trying to pursue this. with series like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and The Division. However, the projects since Ubisoft changed their strategy have continuously pushed back the launch date, while the released numbers have not met expectations.

Yves Guillemot himself – Ubisoft’s chief executive officer also had to speak up to acknowledge this fact. He even stated that the two most recent disappointing projects, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope as well as Just Dance, are performing very poorly. According to Yves, Ubisoft has stopped developing three unannounced projects. More importantly, before that, this company also canceled four other games in development including Ghost Recon Frontline and Splinter Cell VR. Within a year, Ubisoft shut down 7 of its games.

The matter becomes even more telling for Ubisoft when their recent blockbuster projects are increasingly creating great disappointment. The remake of The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has yet to be released, even though it is the most anticipated game. While Ghost Recon Frontline – a fighting masterpiece that was expected to become a counterweight to Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends, was closed despite taking more than a year of development before.
