Today Ubisoft hosted its financial conference call for investors and analysts, and Chief Financial Officer Frederick Duguet talked about Star Wars Outlaws and the upcoming pipeline of games.
Douguet mentioned during the livestreamed presentation that while sales for Star Wars Outlaws improved during the holiday season, it “wasn’t enough to deliver on expectations.”
That being said, he added that thanks to the rollout of updates, the game has reached a high level of quality and “is considered by the fans as one of the most immersive and beautiful interactive representations of the Star Wars universe.” Douguet concluded on the topic predicting that the game will be “a long-term seller.”
Later in the call, Douguet mentioned that Ubisoft has been investing significantly in the “big” pipeline for the coming years along the “two verticals being open world action-adventure as well as games as a service”
While now the company is preparing a “big launch for Assassin’s Creed Shadows” for next year it has big plans for the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brand across all platforms, it already announced Anno: Pax Romana (which was later defined as “very promising) on PC and The Division: Resurgence on mobile. These are “coming along well.”
More about the plans for the next fiscal year (between April 2025 and March 2026) will be shared in May, but Douguet defines the pipeline for the future years as “strong” across the two verticals mentioned above.
Incidentally, we also hear that Ubisoft intends to reveal the results of its “formal and competitive” strategic review process for the company “over the next quarters in the course of this year.”
