Ubisoft has delayed Skull and Bones for a sixth time and cancelled three unannounced projects.
In a press release, Ubisoft revealed it had cancelled three unannounced projects, on top of the four previously canned games announced in July, due to the developer and publisher facing"major challenges" and the underperformance of games such as Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Just Dance 2023.
Ubisoft says its strategy for the past four years has been about building long-lasting live service games and adapting its major franchises to"mega-brands" that can"reach players across the globe, across platforms, and business models." However, Ubisoft says that the"games from this investment phase have yet to be released, while our recent launches have not performed as well as expected.
To strengthen its long-term growth and value creation prospects going forward, Ubisoft announced it would ensure all its energy"is focused on building our brands and live services into some of the most powerful within the industry.
