From VGC: "Ubisoft has cancelled three unannounced games and delayed it’s long in development pirate game Skull & Bones yet again.
Announcing the move on Wednesday, the company said it is “facing major challenges as the industry continues to shift towards mega-brands and long-lasting titles than can reach players across the globe, across platforms and business models”.
Today, Ubisoft announced the launch of Skull and Bones’ second season, “Chorus of Havoc” in which players will face the maniacal Hubac Twins – the Compagnie Royale’s enforces who rampage through the seas.
Yes, Ubisoft's divisive pirate RPG Skull and Bones appears to be sailing on the tides of success, as Ubisoft prepares to launch Season 2.
Does anyone have accurate gameplay numbers from Steam or PSN? I smell snow job...
If true, it goes to show that the negative press response was not reflecting reality. I personally thought omitting land traversal was a huge miss. But i also thought there was some things that were great about it. Lets see which story was true and which was made up (or worse, paid for)
No data just pr talk. The same site has an article talking about how the price of the game was slashed quickly post release, these sites treat us like fools lol
Despite all the hype, marketing, development time and resources behind them, these blockbuster titles would disappoint fans.
The Order 1886 wasn't disappointing.
It was great.
Maybe do an article about Games Journalists Lied About. That would be a good read.
Sure, the campaign was terrible, but MW3 isn't even the top three most disappointing COD games...
Suicide Squad being at number 2 or even in this list seems like a freebie - its existence alone was disappointing, I don't think many people actually had positive expectations for it near release.
Not having Starfield at all feels like they're ignoring a huge conversation of last year. Even as someone that likes the game, ignoring its reception is head-in-the-sand at best and its restrictions were magnified by its release alongside Baldur's Gate 3. The disappointment many feel about it FARRRRR exceeds any disappointment people have for random third party titles like... Biomutant, and Exoprimal... Same could be said for reception around Forza Motorsport.
Nooo ...
... not Skull and Bones ...
Lol, Skull and Bones is the new Duke Nukem Forever.
Skulls and Bones delayed for like the 17th time lol. It's a joke at this point.
"to further strengthen our execution and to ensure we both deliver amazing games to players as well as great value creation."
Yet Skull and Bones got delayed again. It's obvious the game isn't good to play or they're struggling to find the fun in the game. As for every other game Avatar Pandora won't be out any like soon.
Ubisoft is falling from grace sadly. They need to manage their studios better.
Wonder which projects they cancelled?
Hope they were all typical ubi live service projects ...
