Ubisoft Singapore remains the lead studio on <em>Skull and Bones <\/em>and the team is working full speed on the game experience and the development of its robust post launch content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Though Guillemot told investors during today&#8217;s call that the project has been making great progress, and will now launch this spring, it has clearly not made enough to finally ship, coming up on six years after it was first revealed.  Whether the game ends up being good or not, current and former developers<em> Kotaku<\/em> has spoken with as recently as last month are skeptical it can be a major seller. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"twitter-embed\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=twitter-1613219510068121613&amp;autosize=1\" autoresize=\"true\" id=\"twitter-1613219510068121613\" data-recommended=\"false\" width=\"500\" height=\"159\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Guillemot told investors a similar issue with <span><em>Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope<\/em><\/span>  was one of the reasons the company is now forecasting major losses for the year.  Despite a big marketing budget and critical acclaim, the game didn&#8217;t meet sales expectations coming out of the holiday.  neither did <em>Just Dance 2023<\/em>the company&#8217;s only other major release last fall, a time of year that would normally have boasted another giant<em> Assassin&#8217;s Creed <\/em>blockbuster. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">To deal with the losses, Ubisoft has now canceled three more unannounced games in addition to <span>the four that were previously canceled last year<\/span>.  It&#8217;s also written off around $537 million of R&#038;D costs associated with upcoming and canceled games.  And the company is planning to slice roughly $215 million in costs from its operating budget over the next two years.  \u201cThis will be achieved through targeted restructuring, divesting some non-core assets and usual natural attrition,\u201d the company told investors.  \u201cUbisoft will continue to look at hiring highly talented people for its biggest brands and live services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Three current and former Ubisoft developers, who wished to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak about company plans, recently told <em>Kotaku <\/em>that they are already seeing cuts by way of fewer backfills for recently departed colleagues and fewer contracts getting renewed for those working on a temporary basis.  They also said there were layoffs across some of Ubisoft&#8217;s US locations last fall, including its San Francisco office.  A spokesperson for Ubisoft said only 27 positions were eliminated as part of this \u201crestructuring.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Next fiscal year, which runs through March 2024, Ubisoft said it plans to release at least one additional unannounced big game besides<em> Skull and Bones<\/em>, <em>Avatar<\/em>and <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Mirage<\/em>.  The CEO called it \u201cthe biggest pipeline in Ubisoft history\u201d in his email to staff and said he&#8217;s excited to share more at this year&#8217;s E3 conference in June. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">But to do that it will need to avoid some of the <span>pitfalls that have plagued current and upcoming projects<\/span> even as it cuts spending.  Guillemot laid responsibility for this at the feet of staff, writing, \u201cThe ball is in your court to deliver this line-up on time and at the expected level of quality, and show everyone what we are capable of achieving.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Ubisoft Ubisoft held an emergency call with investors on Wednesday to reveal that the company&#8217;s 2022 sales had fallen well below expectations and that it would be taking drastic measures going forward, including canceling three more unannounced games, delaying Skull and Bones a few months yet againand cutting roughly $215 million in costs over &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/ubisoft-cancels-games-delays-skull-and-bones-after-rough-2022\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Ubisoft Cancels Games, Delays Skull And Bones After Rough 2022<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[4],"tags":[1645,10942,3643,329,280,15963,678,27219,286,3887,16233,27217,46740,46739,46738,1422,27218,447,686,279,283,12674],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ubisoft Cancels Games, Delays Skull And Bones After Rough 2022 - harchi90<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiVGh0dHBzOi8va290YWt1LmNvbS91Ymlzb2Z0LXNrdWxsLWJvbmVzLWRlbGF5LWFzc2Fzc2lucy1jcmVlZC1mYXItY3J5LWN1dHMtMTg0OTk3NTkyNdIBAA?oc=5\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ubisoft Cancels Games, Delays Skull And Bones After Rough 2022 - harchi90\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Image: Ubisoft Ubisoft held an emergency call with investors on Wednesday to reveal that the company&#8217;s 2022 sales had fallen well below expectations and that it would be taking drastic measures going forward, including canceling three more unannounced games, delaying Skull and Bones a few months yet againand cutting roughly $215 million in costs over &hellip;
