Another open-world Assassin’s Creed is coming, but if it fails, Ubisoft might consider selling the company, says Jason Schreier.

In recent years, Ubisoft has faced significant challenges, both financially and critically. The newly announced Assassin’s Creed: Shadows might be the company’s final big bet, potentially saving the franchise or pushing Ubisoft further into crisis. Jason Schreier, a Bloomberg journalist, claims that the game could be a turning point for the company’s future.

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is another open-world RPG, continuing the legacy of the franchise. While recent entries have received mixed reactions from fans and critics alike, Ubisoft hopes that Shadows will return the series to its former glory.

Schreier: Ubisoft Might Consider Selling

“If Assassin’s Creed: Shadows doesn’t succeed, selling Ubisoft could become a realistic scenario,” Schreier warns. The journalist suggests that Ubisoft is already seeking external investors and partners to stabilize its situation.

Ubisoft has previously released numerous open-world games that, while ambitious from a technological standpoint, often failed to meet critical and financial expectations. The success of Shadows could therefore be crucial for the company.

The exact release date of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is still unknown, but rumors suggest it could launch in early 2025. The game’s reception will likely have a significant impact on Ubisoft’s future.
