Ubisoft says it has postponed several of its “biggest productions” currently in development in order to grant them more time in the oven, after previously delaying Assassin’s Creed Shadows in order to provide further polish.
Exactly which games these are was not named by Ubisoft during its financial results broadcast today, though in an investor call listened to by Eurogamer, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot suggested the impacted titles came from the publisher’s top five brands – Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, The Division and Ghost Recon.
Guillemot said Shadows’ delay had been a “good decision to deliver a really strong quality” and that the delayed projects would now launch beyond the current financial year ending 31st March 2026, in either the following year ending March 2027, or the year after ending March 2028.
“After a review of our pipeline, we have decided to provide additional development time to some of our biggest productions in order to create the best conditions for success,” Guillemot said today in a statement. “As a consequence, FY2026-27 and FY2027-28 will see significant content coming from our largest brands.”
