Creating whole worlds, with their systems, their rules, their characters, their physics, to tell stories, to empower users to live lasting digital adventures with their friends, is hard. #SkullAndBones development was long and complex, you all know this. But today, it's launching, and i strongly encourage you to give this game its chance. Not for what it could have been. Not for what you might have heard in the press about its development. But for what it is, for the value it tries to provide now and for hopefully years to come. Bravo to all the teams involved for their resilience, happy #launch day :) Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Ukraine Studios, Ubisoft Belgrade, Ubisoft Berlin, Ubisoft, Ubisoft India Studios #gaming #digital #innovation #gameindustry #product #ubisoft

Metroidvania games have been around for decades, and their enduring popularity rests on a magical mix of satisfying platforming, interconnected levels, and non-linear exploration. Nothing beats the satisfaction of defeating a hard boss or reaching a level you couldn’t access before. But the interconnectivity and skills progression also make it a particularly challenging genre for devs to nail. Mission accomplished for the teams in Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Romania, Ubisoft Ukraine Studios, Ubisoft India Studios who succeeded in bringing together Metroidvania mechanics with the legendary world and gameplay of The Prince or Persia, and introduce some new features to make the genre more accessible. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown should delight fans and newcomers alike!

Where do I start?..... This game is Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry. It was an awesome standalone game that was a spin on Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, and as a storyline game enthusiast, I couldn't wait to play it. The biggest reason was that it would be set in #Haiti, and feature my heritage. I was stoked! I got into the game and it was a visual historical masterpiece, and the gameplay was even better! HOWEVER! I was turned off by it when I heard the language of the locals. WHAT LANGUAGE WAS THAT?! It was not #Haitian Kreyol, not even a variation of it. Now, I understand if there was some of the old African language used but Ubisoft Ubisoft Montréal Ubisoft India Studios consulted a "cultural team" that gave you something lackluster. For this exact reason, I started 8th & Rolle Media, to make sure that Film, Video Games, and other media outlets highlight the language and culture of Haiti and Haitian Creole accurately. We specialize in helping tell the stories in the way it should be told. Big fan @Ubisoft, but I have to be honest. Love your games, let's work together to not repeat this mistake.

Ubisoft commits DEI sepuku. Ubisoft’s stock just tanked after the trailer for *Assassin's Creed: Shadows* dropped. 🎮💥 Set in feudal Japan, the game is facing major backlash over its portrayal of Yasuke, the Black samurai. Ubisoft forgot that it’s totally fine to race swap white males but that race swapping any other race, especially Asian, is a big no no. The gaming industry sells games to young boys, who seem to be detested by the very companies they are supposed to serve. 🚫When your priority is pushing an ideology and not making a great product that your audience wants, you’re going to fail. 🔥DEI makes companies light shareholder value on fire. Where do you stand on this? #gaming #diversity #AssassinsCreed #Ubisoft #feudalJapan #culturalrepresentation #DEI #fail

**NEW EPISODE IS LIVE*** Episode 180: Ubisoft in Freefall (News Show) Ubisoft has been under fire since a failed hostile takeover attempt in 2018. Since then, a toxic culture of misogyny and harassment was revealed in 2020 leading to an exodus of talent and a string of underperforming releases. Now, a critical game delay, a board review of operations, and a looming strike in France have tanked the share price as the company is fending off an activist investor bent on forcing the company to eject the Guillemot family and take private equity to save the ailing publisher.

🚀 Ubisoft’s Neverending Challenges The floodgates have burst open at Ubisoft. Since the launch of Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft stock (UBI) on the Euronext Paris exchange (UBI) has plummeted by a third, the most dramatic two-week decline in the company’s history.
