Ubisoft’s Post

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

Big congrats to the hundreds of talents who worked on #AvatarFrontiersOfPandora, that we release today! With this game, we wanted to show that titles based on famous movies IPs could be far more than their usual reputation of opportunistic digital merchandising. I had the privilege along with 4 other colleagues from our Project Closing team to help Massive Entertainment - A Ubisoft Studio for a while to ship this game. Many learnings, like: 1) How to collaborate with franchise owner Lightstorm Entertainment & James Cameron to not only adapt but co-craft with minutia a worthwhile expansion of the movies 2) Central role of technology to materialize such an ambitious vision for world-building. First reviews and players impressions are out, and they are unanimous about this product becoming a new visual benchmark, our studios' success to create new regions of Pandora that are believeable, and an immersive experience full of "wow" moments that is truly complementing the movies. Kudos to all the codev studios as well, Ubisoft Blue Byte GmbH, Ubisoft Romania, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Ukraine Studios, Ubisoft Leamington and all the other teams at Ubisoft who contributed, as well as Lightstorm Entertainment, The Walt Disney Company, Fox Corporation. #gaming #games #tech #avatar #ubisoft #disney

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗨𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 Ubisoft recently made a pivotal decision to cancel 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆’𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, which had been in development for release between 2021 and 2022. Announced during an earnings call, this decision underscores Ubisoft's commitment to reallocating resources towards larger opportunities such as 𝗫𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 and 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗶𝘅. The Division Heartland, a highly anticipated free-to-play spinoff developed by 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, faced continuous delays. Ubisoft explained that after thorough consideration, they opted to halt its development to better support the studio’s talented team. These team members will now channel their expertise into projects with greater potential impact, including 𝗫𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 and the enduringly popular 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, founded by Tom Clancy and based in North Carolina, has a storied history of crafting immersive military-themed games. Since joining the Ubisoft family in 2000, the studio has contributed significantly to major titles, including the well-received 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆’𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮. This move is part of Ubisoft’s broader strategy to streamline operations and reduce costs, which has involved the cancellation of at least eight games and a reduction of over 1,700 staff in the last 18 months. This significant restructuring aims to focus resources on high-potential projects and drive long-term growth. The gaming community’s reaction to the cancellation has been mixed. While some players were eagerly anticipating The Division Heartland for its accessible, free-to-play format, others are optimistic that this shift will lead to a stronger focus on the development of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟯, announced in September 2023. Ubisoft’s realignment reflects the dynamic nature of the gaming industry, emphasizing the need to adapt and prioritize strategic investments. We’re excited to see the innovative outcomes of these changes and look forward to the new projects that Ubisoft’s talented teams will deliver. #Ubisoft #GameDevelopment #StrategicPlanning #TheDivisionHeartland #XDefiant #RainbowSix #GamingIndustry
