"Ubisoft is making some massive changes to its business: As part of a reorganization, the company will focus its efforts on the big open-world games it's famous for along with live service titles, and it has canceled six in-development games, including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. It's all part of a recent trend of the industry's biggest publishers, including companies like EA and Sony, making fewer but bigger games to avoid risk."
"Under its new structure, Ubisoft games will be developed by five "Creative Houses" focused on specific genres and franchises. The previously announced Vantage Studios, for example, will develop Ubisoft's biggest franchises to "turn them into annual billionaire brands," including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. Other Ubisoft studios are focused on competitive shooters, live service games, fantasy and narrative-driven "universes," and casual games."
Ubisoft is reorganizing development into five Creative Houses to concentrate on big open-world games and live-service titles. The company canceled six in-development games, including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Vantage Studios will handle flagship franchises with the goal of turning them into annual, highly profitable brands such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. Other studios will specialize in competitive shooters, live-service experiences, fantasy and narrative-driven universes, and casual games. Major publishers including EA and Sony are following similar strategies, producing fewer but larger titles to lower financial exposure, which also introduces different risks.
