📉 Hey, OGCommunity! Time for some hot news:
Ubisoft on the Brink -- All-in on Assasins Creed: Shadows
What's happening:
According to insider Endymion, the development cost of the failed Skull & Bones is estimated at $650-850 million. The game was in development for 11 years, and its peak online player count was only 2,500;
Management is panicking over the poor release of Star Wars Outlaws, which has sold only 1 million copies. By comparison, Assassin's Creed Mirage sold over 5 million copies in its first few months;
The final blow to the company was the delay of Assassin's Creed Shadows, which caused Ubisoft's stock to drop by 20%, sending investors into a frenzy.
What's next:
Shareholders are pushing Ubisoft to sell to Tencent, which already owns 10% of the company;
Mass layoffs are expected at Ubisoft in the near future;
The company's stock is plummeting — it has already dropped to 2013 levels.
Additionally, insider Endymion reports that Assassin's Creed Shadows received only 7% of the pre-orders that Valhalla had during the same period.
