Ubisoft has released its latest
earnings report, rounding up financial results from the first half of fiscal
2021-2022. This includes positive trends for monthly unique players, net
bookings, and back-catalogue sales. The company also states that in less than a
year, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is now the second largest profit-generating game
in company history and Far Cry 6 play-time is up over Far Cry 5. The follow-up
Conference Call for
investors included a few more tidbits, such as word that
Assassin's Creed Infinity will not be a free to play game and that
The Division Heartland and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake
are delayed into the fiscal year ending March 2023. Here's the included
message from the boss:
Yves Guillemot, Co-Founder and Chief Executive
Officer, said “The industry is thriving and quickly evolving, offering us new
challenges and opportunities. Players have a deeper impact on the worlds they
