A Mixed Year For Ubisoft

2014 has been a year of mixed feelings for Ubisoft in terms of their finance, banking and popularity. Though it was expected that 2014 will be the year of Ubisoft, this didn't happen. Ubisoft started well but their business went down later on. We will discuss about the up and downs of Ubisoft in this article.

 

 

Ubisoft is a developer and publisher who develops and publishes games on a regular basis throughout the whole year. We will obviously not cover all the games of them. We are going to talk about only those games that made impact in the business of Ubisoft both in the positive and in the negative way. The business data, the banking and share information and the sales volumes were kept in mind before making these assessments.

 

The first big release of Ubisoft was the Watch Dogs. This game released on May 27, 2014 under the banner of Ubisoft. This is a game related to hacking and this open world game was loved by most gamers. This game was a huge success and this game brought serious changes into the banking level of Ubisoft. The share and the market price went high and Ubisoft became even a bigger name after the release of Watch Dogs. The game was so successful and the sales of Ubisoft went up to 374% after the release of this game. They sold around 8 million copies in the first few days of the release and this game is considered as one of the biggest success of Ubisoft.

Then Comes the Assassin's Creed: Unity of Ubisoft released on November 11, 2014. If Watch Dogs was the bright side of a coin, Unity is the opposite one. This was a game of disaster. Ubisoft failed to make a perfect game this time as there were glitches, bugs and what not. The game lagged into many consoles and Ubisoft even said sorry officially for what happened. This game was a big failure and there are lots of gamers who lost their trust from Ubisoft. You might think how can a game cause this much trouble.

This game immediately cost a huge banking loss and finance loss for the company as  the company lost around 8.3% share within 1st week. This is a huge number for a company like Ubisoft. They are now examining and releasing updates rapidly.  

 

 

Far Cry 4 and The Crew are going to be released soon. Far Cry 4 will release on 18th of November 2014 and The Crew will release 2nd December, 2014. Ubisoft is actually betting on Far Cry 4 to cover the loss of Assassin's Creed. Far Cry is a big venture and this time the game is releasing on a huge level.

The Crew is another famous game of Ubisoft and they are hopeful about this game too. Check our news: The Crew: Coming on this December

 

In short, it can be said that this year was full of up and down for Ubisoft. Now only big release Far Cry 4 can save their destiny, business and finance. Let's see what happens.
