Ubisoft, which is behind the "Assassin's Creed" franchise, said it sees net bookings for the current fiscal year being "stable" year-on-year

Released in August 2024, Star Wars Outlaws seriously struggled for sales despite boasting a massive development budget and a lengthy, widespread marketing campaign. The title quickly became a significant factor in Ubisoft's more recent decline, and set alarm bells ringing within the company, with shareholders eyeing potential buyouts.

“The launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was a defining moment,” said co-founder and chief executive officer of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot. “It reaffirmed the power of the Assassin’s Creed brand, with a highly favorable community response from long-time fans and new players alike.”
