Ubisoft looking to release games at quicker pace
Ubisoft feels that it isn’t releasing games fast enough. To address this, the company will use its 26 different studios and more than 7,000 developers to output entries in its popular franchises at a faster pace.
During a financial conference call yesterday, CEO Yves Guillemot said:
“We believe that our major production capacity, strong of a network of 26 international studios and over 7,000 developers, now optimized with our lead and associate organization, will allow us to come with an enhanced pipeline of increasingly high quality franchises and new IPs. We will be able to release our franchises more and more regularly, providing solid visibility on our future revenue and profitability streams. All that, combined with the online expertise and know-how that we have been growing steadily internally make us believe that we will benefit disproportionately from the arrival of the new generation and from the continued growth of the online market.”
Ubisoft already releases Assassin’s Creed games on a regular basis. Could we eventually see a time where franchises such as Watch_Dogs each year as well? That’d probably be overkill.
