Ubisoft expanding Assassin’s Creed team by 40% over coming years
Ubisoft has detailed plans expand its Assassin’s Creed team by 40% “over the coming years” as it seeks to focus its resources on “big brands and long-lasting Live games”.
The news comes as part of the publisher’s Financial Year 2023 earnings report, its first earnings report since a disappointing quarterly update in January which saw it pledge an “increased cautiousness over the coming years” and cancel three unannounced projects.
In today’s end-of-year report, Ubisoft recorded net bookings of €1.74B, marking an 18% year-on-year decrease for the publisher, but there were some notable wins for its biggest games, including a record number of active users for the Assassin’s Creed franchise over the last year, coming it at 44% higher than Origins and 19% higher than Odyssey.
