Having axed seven unannounced projects within the last 12 months, the French video game company has doubled down on its cost-cutting measures within the last year through further shuttering five offices in Europe and bringing its workforce to under 20,000 from 20,700 at the end of September 2022. Despite market performance “being in line” with its revised targets for the previous fiscal year, Ubisoft has still expressed a desire to push its smaller projects aside in favor of its most successful brands.
With Assassin’s Creed Valhalla achieving a 44% larger playerbase than Origins and a 19% larger playerbase than Odyssey in comparable post-launch time periods, Ubisoft plans to increase the amount of resources dedicated to the IP. The number of developers working on the franchise will be increased by 40% in the upcoming years, which is reasonable given the massive slate of Assassin’s Creed titles the company plans to deliver in the near future.

- Assassin’s Creed Mirage
