Ubisoft will continue to invest in Wii U, believes they can thrive
Ubisoft’s two newest games, The Crew and The Division, aren’t coming to Wii U as far as we know. Still, it’s tough to knock the publisher’s support. Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Watch_Dogs, and Assassin’s Creed IV are all due out before year’s end.
Tony Key, senior VP of sales and marketing at Ubisoft, recently said that the company will continue investing in the Wii U and believes it is capable of thriving on the platform.
“We did not take a big risk with all those launch titles on Wii U. [Wii U game] development isn’t expensive — some Wii U games are versions of games for other platforms, like Assassin’s Creed. And we continue to invest in that system. We have just as many titles coming on Wii U this year as we did after launch, because the system isn’t as resource-intensive to make games for it. We continue to believe that the Wii U will find its audience. We saw some good games [during Nintendo Direct this week]. We’re confident that the Wii U is a good place for us to do business, and we can make money there.”
