Ubisoft's Mission Is To Release Games When They Are Perfect To Blow Away Everybody, Exec Says

Ubisoft, ane of the biggest third party publishers, received critiques from several core gamers after buggy and/or disappointing launches such as Assassin's Creed Unity and Watch Dogs.

However, it does seem that the visitor is now willing to delay games when needed. For case, this twelvemonth's Assassin's Creed installment has been moved to next year and The Division was pushed twice before release.

In an interview with GamesIndustry, Ubisoft's Head of EMEA (Europe, Heart East and Africa) Alain Corre confirmed that polish is at present similar a mission.

What we want is that our games are perfect when we release them and we are showing that all the time, so nosotros are giving them the fourth dimension they need to blow abroad everybody. That's our mission. The beauty of Ubisoft also is to be able to give time to games when we feel they are not completely polished. We are trying to respect the dates of grade, but sometimes we have to make the decision to [push button a project dorsum], similar with The Sectionalisation for instance, which we had to postpone twice because nosotros felt it was not completely polished yet. Quality for us is super important - everyday we piece of work to make sure the worlds we create are every bit perfect every bit possible before we release them to the fans because ultimately they decide if the game is skilful and if they will help with word of oral fissure.

Elsewhere in the interview, Corre also said that Lookout Dogs 2 tin can exist a "super good game at the end of the twelvemonth" and that having and then many franchises can help others breathe in the meantime, which is probably a reference to Assassinator'southward Creed. He as well mentioned that the upcoming Assassin's Creed movie, due in December and starring Michael Fassbender as well as Jeremy Irons, is "very truthful" to the DNA of the game.
