During its quarterly earnings report, Ubisoft revealed that it has delayed its ‘Large Game’ to the next fiscal year. It was initially scheduled to come out by March 2024, but now it will be released between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.
No information was provided about this mystery title, but if we had to guess, it could be Star Wars Outlaws, which looks great or the next Far Cry title. We will just have to wait until we get an official word from Ubisoft.
The publisher further stated that they plan to release Skull and Bones by March 2024. Finally being able to get our hands on the finished state of the game would indeed be great. It has been in development for a long time and has had multiple betas with one taking place just a couple of months back in August, so the release date announcement could be just around the corner.
Ubisoft also shared its ‘cost reduction plan,’ mentioning a decrease of over 1,300 employees within a year. Some of these were layoffs, while some were voluntary departures that were not replaced.
The publisher also shared that despite its recent delay, XDefiant is set to launch this fiscal year alongside Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Just Dance 2024, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Rainbow Six Mobile, and The Division Resurgence.
