Ubisoft has recently revealed that some of its “biggest productions” have been delayed to 2026 and 2027. The change was announced after the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which was an incredibly successful project for Ubisoft.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was released in March 2025, after two delays, which were reportedly necessary to polish the game and improve its overall quality. Ubisoft’s plan went well, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows quickly became a bestseller, appearing only behind the greatly popular Monster Hunter Wilds in the sales' charts.
Now, Ubisoft has revealed during its financial results broadcast (via Eurogamer) that several of its “biggest productions” have been delayed to get more development time and polish, and will only be out during 2026 and 2027. While Ubisoft has not revealed a full list of the games affected by this change, its CEO, Yves Guillemot, has suggested that these titles came from top brands such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, The Division, and Ghost Recon. This change in strategy happened after AC Shadows’ release, as Guillemot considered it a “good decision” to delay the title and “create the best conditions for success.” According to the reports, titles such as the long-delayed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake will still be released in the 2025 fiscal year, which ends in March 2026. The list of games still slated to arrive by this date includes Anno 117: Pax Romana, Rainbow Six Mobile, and The Division Resurgence.
While some gamers will likely not be happy about having fewer titles to play, it’s possible that this move will benefit Ubisoft’s games. Previous titles, such as the unpopular and very bugged Assassin’s Creed Unity, greatly suffered from quick development cycles, and it seems that releasing games more slowly could help them achieve better results in the market due to their higher quality when they finally become available to the public.
This is not the only major change that Ubisoft has decided on recently. Earlier this year, Ubisoft decided to form a new subsidiary to handle its more popular IPs: Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. The new subsidiary will get an investment of $1.25 billion from Tencent, which will get a 25% stake in the new company. During the financial results broadcast, Ubisoft informed the investors that the subsidiary would focus on “improving the quality” of narrative-driven games, live service offerings, and target “underpenetrated markets” such as China.
