Ubisoft Entertainment has delayed the launch of its much-anticipated title “Assassin's Creed Shadows” and has “appointed advisors to review strategic options to extract the best value for stakeholders.
Ubisoft, which is behind the "Assassin's Creed" franchise, last week said it has postponed the release of the next title in the popular game series by three months to Feb. 14, 2025. Shares of Ubisoft, which also cut net bookings guidance for its full fiscal year and second quarter, have slumped to decade lows on the back of dismal investor expectations about the company's triple-A games pipeline and financial prospects.
Ubisoft's stock is not attractive due to weak game launches, damaged goodwill, and aggressive monetization practices, leading to potential commercial failures and boycotts. Latest earnings show bookings growth, but xDefiant underperformed Street expectations, highlighting the mistake to launch a game in a saturated market. Political controversies may have a larger impact on AC: Shadows, whose release has been delayed as Star Wars Outlaws, another needle-mover, underperformed on new aggressive pricing policies.
