Ubisoft 'Fully Mobilised' After Soft Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Sales | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Ubisoft has said it’s “fully mobilised to swiftly implement a series of updates to polish and improve” Star Wars Outlaws after it admitted the game had a “softer than expected launch”. While it pointed out that the release had received “solid ratings”, it said that it wants to position the release as a “strong long-term performer”, which will require a series of critical improvements and updates.

In fact, the title’s launch appears to have spooked the French publisher, prompting it to delay Assassin’s Creed Shadows until 14th February. “While the game is feature complete,” it said of its upcoming Japanese open world outing, “the learnings from the Star Wars Outlaws release led us to provide additional time to further polish the title.”

Staying in the shadows

Among Star Wars Outlaws’ many launch issues, PS5 players who’d paid extra for Early Access were forced to start the campaign over, after a critical progression breaking bug had to be fixed by the publisher. This rendered the Early Access period pointless – and has resulted in the French publisher nixing the entire idea with Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

It seems the old “churn out jank and fix it in post” strategy has finally caught up to them. Ubi’s reputation is such that the genuinely good games they put out suffer.

Ubisoft is one more piece of bad PR away from getting bought by Microsoft

This game is still in my cart on PSN. Hoping it goes on sale soon so I can add it to my backlog. I'm currently like 3 years behind the release schedules. I really hate being a responsible adult sometimes haha

Ubisof...who is surprised.Not buying their game.

@Enuo unlikely to happen. Aa Microsoft
