It will continue to compliment the “strong” AAA versions and more
© UbisoftIn the latest call for earnings from Ubisoft (where it was revealed that the French company was the top third-party publisher on Nintendo Switch), CFO Frederick Duguet talked about the changing model of the publisher.
It will do this by focusing on free titles and premium experiences alongside AAA dynamics and the back catalog.
“We’ve been saying for a few years that our normal pattern is to come up with three or four AAA games, so we’ll stick to that plan for fiscal year 2022. But we see that we’re moving progressively from a model that used to we only focus on AAA versions in a model where we have a combination of strong AAA versions and strong back catalog dynamics, but we also complement our new release schedule with free-to-play and other premium experiences. “
“In fiscal year 2022, we will continue our evolution from a model focused on the AAA version to a model in which AAA is with new premium and free innovative experiences for all platforms. These diverse experiences will feed each other through complementary games and business models. “
Ubisoft recently launched Watch Dogs 3 and Fenyx Rising Immortals and continues to accept free titles such as Hyper Scape and Brawlhalla. In addition, he announced the return of such games Prince of Persia: The sands of time and resurrected Scott Pilgrim.
