Ubisoft Delays Several Major Releases

Okay, so here’s the thing about Ubisoft and their whole game deal recently. It’s like they realized they need to calm down and actually finish a project properly—kind of late, but hey, better late than never, right? After dragging out the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows not once, but twice, they finally hit the jackpot. Seriously, these delays actually made it, and now they’re pulling the same trick for other big games. Like, finally learning from past mess-ups or something?

And that whole thing with Tencent? Yeah, they’re investing some serious cash—over a billion bucks—not the kind of pocket change you’d find in your couch. This team-up is all about their big titles: Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. Kind of a makeover for them, maybe because of past flops. They’ve been chatting about this new plan in their earnings reports. It’s all about taking more time, trying to create games that don’t suck and maybe get folks hyped enough to actually buy them.

Now, here’s where I start guessing. Ubisoft didn’t exactly say what’s getting pushed back, but c’mon, it’s gotta involve things like the Splinter Cell reboot. Everyone’s been yapping about it. And there’s Assassin’s Creed Hexe—revealed in 2022 and still no clue when it’s dropping. Feels like waiting for a bus that ain’t coming, huh?

But before you think they’re ghosting the gaming scene, there’s some stuff still on track. Like that Anno 117 Pax Romana, apparently not on the delay list, and the Prince of Persia remake. Both pegged for this financial year—so, not all doom and gloom.

Rumors floating around about other stuff getting more wait time. Seems like a Ghost Recon game is cooking up, maybe landing somewhere in 2025-26. And don’t forget the buzz about Far Cry 7—2026 might be its year. Oh, and a shooter spinoff. Because, you know, what’s life without a bit of speculative gaming drama?

Crazy talk or not, there’s whispers of a Black Flag remake, and something about turning Assassin’s Creed into a multiplayer showdown. Maybe even a battle royale with vibes like Apex Legends. But, who even knows how those will unfold in the shuffle and shuffle?

Meanwhile, while waiting for all this, maybe dig into best open-world games lists or RPGs, relive some golden Ubi moments. And hey, if you wanna keep tabs on gaming updates, or just chill in random gaming gossip, we’ve got the Discord thing going on. Dive in – say hi – or just lurk. Whatever floats your gaming boat.
