Please let Division 3 be good....

I would be more worried about the fact that Tencent are ruthless, the moment they decide you aren't making them any money they will shut your studio down and lay everyone off

Why is negative tho? Voting with your wallet, doesn't people alway do it, putting presure on them and let then know that they will risk losing their job if they just lazy around and feed us their trash ideology

All I ask is for some consistency. If the OP thinks this thread is worth making today, then surely it's worth making a new thread about Ubisoft's stock position every day.

KCD2 also had 1 million copies on day one. And KCD2 is a double A game, budget apx. 40 million. Assassins Creed Shadows had almost 10 times the budget (300-400 mill). AC Shadows had 10x the budget, but same (or even less) copies sold on day one than KCD2.

KCD2 is AAA in quality, AA in budget, while AC Shadows is AA in quality, and AAAA in budget. Ubisoft needs complete overhaul. And yes you are right that by all indications - numbers on steam, numbers on amazon, and number released by Ubisoft itself - AC Shadows is unlikely to make its budget back anytime soon, probably ever.

First things first... exhaust Lucy's dialogues in AC1 on xsx then... move to AC2 on PS5 pro! Reboot a sky to bee colors.

So you think there's no value in knowing how shareholders reacted to the launch?

 

[zombrex]

Assasins Creed is way past it's prime and relevance as a series, players have moved on and it simly does not garner the same attention and hype as previously. Should not surprise anyon, especially after more than a decade. Ubi would be better to vault or reboot series with a completely new take.

Ubi would be better to vault or reboot series with a completely new take.

Or release an AC title with a cool mc that fits the setting, avoiding risky maneuvers to please a minority while being on the edge of bankruptcy. But what do we know, the well paid market analysts at Ubi probably did their job, right?

I tried to SOLO division 1 but ended up stuck, Div 2 is leaps and bounds better that 3 has giant potential. I assume they will takle LA next.

AC is their number ONE franchise by far. Their flagship bread and butter. So I think it's relevant to see how the stock performs after its release.

I don't care about other non-news day

 

[ValiantInstance]

Markets are down around 5% on average due to tariff news, so we can attribute some of it to that.

Suggests AC Shadows is underperforming expectations or not?

 

[StueyDuck]

I wouldn't read anything into the markets right now of anything.

There is a lot of reactionary things happening that encompasses more than gaming.

 

[Elios83]

All stocks are down due to Trump's tariffs madness.
Ubisoft is also down because investors don't think the Tencent deal will solve their problems, it's perceived as a relatively mild cash injection with no business plan to turn things around.
AC Shadows is probably their only bright spot atm but not enough.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Even if Shadows shattered sales records I dunno if it would've been enough to recover a stock value that has tanked so completely.
Add in the current global market insanity and they are probably screwed, time to sell off more.

 

[PeteBull]

Yups stock market likes certainlty, now we got big uncertainty so all stock markets going crazy. And its not even coz of those tarrifs trump put in place, its rather fear of other countries reacting, then trump reacting again and so on...

They're not planning on turning anything around the cash injection is to spin off valuable assets into different companies that have some worth while Ubisoft goes under.

The assets are a lot less valuable now vs two weeks ago.
