After the frustrating launch of a cooperative action movie Ghost recon breakpointUbisoft last October announced on postponing the release of its three expected projects (Watch Dogs: Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine, and Gods & Monsters) for fiscal year 2023, which will last from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023.
In general, the publisher then stated that its plans include the release of five AAA games before March 31, 2023, but specific release windows were not named.
As part of a conference on the results for the third quarter of this fiscal year, Ubisoft presented more information about the schedule for the release of its games in fiscal year 2023. According to the data presented, three AAA-games should be released from October 1 to December 31, 2023 (Q3, 2023 financial year), and two more AAA-projects will appear in the interval from January 1 to March 31, 2023 (Q4 2023 financial of the year). Thus, this six-month period – from October 2023 to April 2023 – will be the busiest for Ubisoft.
As for the first three games, everything is very clear – they will be the ones mentioned above Watch Dogs: Legion, Rainbow six quarantine and Gods & monsters. Expectedthat with the help of HD-patches they will become fully available for next-generation consoles. As for the other two titles, not everything is so clear. Most likely, one of the projects will be a new part of the series. Assassin’s creed, rumors about which have repeatedly surfaced earlier, but with the second AAA-game, not everything is so simple. Ubisoft specifically mentioned in this world that this is not about the adventure adventure expected by many Beyond good & evil 2and hope for a new game in the series Splinter cell definitely not worth it. There is an option with the release of the next shooter Far cry or pirate adventure Skull & bones.
Well-known industrial analyst and editor of the portal Kotaku Jason schreier I am sure that we are talking about the new games of the Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed series.
Anyone holding out hope for Splinter Cell is, once again, going to be disappointed. Sorry! (It’s AC and Far Cry.) Https://t.co/7hKDV3y5QS

In addition to major releases, Ubisoft also plans to release a number of smaller scale releases, including a free-to-play sports game. Roller champions and almost certainly the annual release of the dance hit Just dance.
Ubisoft has already promised that each of the future projects will be unique in its own way. We previously said that the French publisher after the failure of game services already applies new strategy. Ubisoft claims that the effect of these solutions we will see this year.
As for the financial indicators for the three-month reporting period ended December 31, 2019, Ubisoft reported revenue of € 416.2 million, which was 26% lower than the previous year.
Guillaume stated that the metrics for the number of active players and game spending for existing consoles and PCs have not weakened. As an example, he cited a cooperative tactical shooter. Rainbow six siegewhere the number of registered players has reached 55 million. He expressed the hope that stable and successful games will be added to them in the near future.
“Despite the fact that the current fiscal year’s figures were significantly lower than our initial expectations, in the third fiscal quarter, excellent results were noted for several projects from our back catalog – in particular, Rainbow Six Siege, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, The Crew 2 and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. In addition, a fast growth rate was again seen in the Just Dance 2023 dance release released last November, “said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillot in an official statement.
