Ubisoft posts strong quarter while addressing harassment scandals

Ubisoft posted its financial results for the first quarter of financial year 2020-2021, showing year-over-year growth in just about everything (undoubtedly helped by the pandemic). But recent sexual misconduct and other scandals cast a shadow over these monetary achievements.

The quarter earned sales of $495.11 million, up 17.6% from the same period last year. Ubisoft also saw the net bookings of its major franchises increase compared to 2019. Assassin’s Creed is up 30% year-over-year, Rainbow Six: Siege is up 30%, and Just Dance is up a massive 500%.
