The company considers that both video games have been 'disappointing' at the commercial and critical level, being, directly and indirectly, guilty of delays in their business plan.
Ubisoft is very disappointed with the sales and criticism received by Ghost Recon Breakpoint, the latest open-world action and tactics videogame in the Ghost Recon saga. According to the company, the worst-rated Ubisoft video game of the generation has failed to dazzle the public and the specialized press. Division 2, the sequel to its action MMO, has also suffered a similar drift.
"We believed in the quality of the game based on their comments received at E3, Gamescom, progress and our latest internal game tests, but the critical reception and sales during the first weeks of the game were very disappointing, " explained the CEO from Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot. "As we have done with previous titles, we will continue to support the game and listen to the community to offer the necessary improvements," he added. In fact, as the manager himself has commented, the commercial drift of this video game has led them to delay multiple titles of their lineup, forcing them to change their business plan.
This same problem has taken its toll twice this year. The other video game affected by a lukewarm reaction has been The Division 2, which although it is true that it managed to convince the press and fans, has not managed to raise its head at the sales level, constantly seeking the attention of the players through tests Free and aggressive offers. In this regard, it is necessary to highlight the complexity of this type of open-world videogames and oriented to constant updates and expansions through the internet.
Because they are two sequels of very similar games launched just a few years ago, Ubisoft has been aware, as well as Activision with Destiny 2, that this type of throwing should be further spaced or a different monetization should be sought so as not to tire players, true engines of this type of business. Given this horizon, it would not be surprising if the publisher and developer began to make sales or discounts in stores and distributors in the coming days or weeks with a view to revitalizing sales figures.
