Ubisoft has 2 unannounced AAA games for release by April 2019, more AC: Origins DLC coming | ResetEra
Quote
Ubisoft has stated they have four AAA games releasing next fiscal year (April 2018 - March 2019). Known titles: - The Crew 2 - Skull & Bones Notes:My guesses would be Watch Dogs 3 and The Division 2. Feel free to throw out guesses. Also, here's the teaser for Assassin's Creed's "amazing" unannounced DLC releases:
- Most of these notes are about titles that aren't going to come out in this time period, so we should guess other things, with a couple exceptions.
- Ubisoft has heavily hinted that Assassin's Creed is not getting a new game this year, and instead there will more "amazing" new DLC for Origins.
- Yves implied that he was still taking concept pitches for Splinter Cell maybe a year or so ago, so that doesn't seem super likely.
- Beyond Good & Evil 2 doesn't look like it's on track to release this generation.
- Ghost Recon, South Park, and Far Cry just came out.
- Rainbow Six and For Honor are near endless service games that won't be getting sequels for ages.
- This also seems to be true for Steep, at least thus far, but it's hard to say. I would probably expect at least a three year gap though a la The Crew 2 and The Division 2, so it would be a bit early for a Steep sequel.
- There will be a third year for The Division, but it doesn't necessarily sound like a huge amount of content is coming, especially compared to the amount of staff working on The Division.
- Watch Dogs 2 hasn't been updated in a while.
- Ubisoft excepts to sell something like 23 million units total.
- The game Ubisoft delayed out of the fiscal year was expected to move 4-5 million units, which would be notably less than either Watch Dogs 2 or The Division shipped at launch.
- Ubisoft said Avatar isn't expected to release until the second movie.
- Ubisoft generally doesn't count things like Rabbids, Trials, Rayman, or Just Dance as AAA titles.
QuoteEssentially, Ubisoft has done the math and determined that long-lasting games are a better investment than annual flashes in the proverbial pan. Even for games that are primarily single-player, like Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft is not necessarily looking to jump ahead to the next major release."We are concentrating on Assassin's Creed: Origins for which we are going to launch a few other DLCs," Guillemot told investors during a conference call. "You will be amazed by what will come on Origins, so that's the only thing we can say for now."https://venturebeat.com/2018/02/12/...ewer-games-after-a-decade-of-annual-releases/Click to expand...
