Ubisoft was already making fewer blockbuster games

French megapublisher Ubisoft reported its earnings yesterday, and chief financial officer Frederick Duguet gave some insight into how the company creates value for its shareholders. During a conference call with investors, Duguet said that releasing three-to-four annual blockbusters is not “a proper indication of [Ubisoft’s] value-creation dynamics.” Instead, Ubisoft expects to make more money from focusing on more free-to-play live-service games.

Many fans took Duguet’s comments to mean that Ubisoft is going to make fewer triple-A games. But the company followed up with a statement today to alleviate those concerns.
