Ubisoft on kertonut edellisen vuoden taloustietojaan. Samalla saatiin tietää yhtiön suunnasta tulevina vuosina. Ubisoft ei enää aio julkaista 3-4 AAA-peliä vuosittain, ja samalla panostusta free-to-play-pelaamiseen lisätään. Asiasta puhui Ubisoftin talouspäällikkö Frederick Duguet.
"In line with the evolution of our high-quality line-up that is increasingly diverse, we are moving on from our prior comment regarding releasing 3-4 premium AAAs per year. It is indeed no longer a proper indication of our value creation dynamics. For example, our expectation for Just Dance and Riders Republic are consistent with some of the industry's AAA performers.
Additionally, we are building high-end free-to-play games to be trending towards AAA ambitions over the long-term. This is purely a financial communication evolution and doesn't change the fact that we continue to expect a high cadence of content delivery including powerful premium and free-to-play new releases."
Viime viikolla Ubisoft julkisti uuden osan The Division -sarjaan. Kyseessä on free-to-play-peli The Division: Heartland.
Kiitokset, VGC
