https://www.eurogamer.net/ubisofts-open-world-star-wars-game-reportedly-targeting-early-2024-release


Quote:
Amid records losses and a raft of cancelled games, Ubisoft is reportedly aiming to release Massive Entertainment's long-awaited open-world Star Wars game in "early 2024".

Announced back in 2021, little is known about The Division developer Massive Entertainment's open-world Star Wars game, beyond the fact it's being helmed by The Division 2 director Julian Gerighty and will utilise the studio's Snowdrop engine.

With so little information currently out in the wild, many had assumed Massive's Star Wars project was still some considerable way off, but Kotaku is now reporting the title is, in fact, the mysterious "another large game" Ubisoft has previously confirmed to be launching during its 2023-24 fiscal year, with the publisher said to be targeting an "early 2024" launch.


However, Kotaku's sources suggest Ubisoft's release plans for the Star Wars game - internally known as Project Helix - might be overly ambitious. The game, which is said to include interplanetary space travel, reportedly "hasn’t been progressing well", and Kotaku's sources expect it to slip into the next financial year, running from April 2024 to March 2025.

Even without Star Wars, Ubisoft has a busy slate for the current financial year, with announced releases including Massive's second title, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, alongside the perennially delayed Skull and Bones, The Crew Motorfest, and Assassin's Creed Mirage - a series the embattled publisher is now seemingly looking to wring for all its worth, recently announcing plans to expand the Assassin's Creed team from 2,000 to 2,800.

We'll almost certainly be hearing more about these titles - and perhaps even get a glimpse of Massive's open-world Star Wars game - as part of the Ubisoft Forward showcase on 12th June.


Development of an ubishit game not going well? NO WAY Surprised

They could have at least made some bs to make it the other way around with the black refugee being the samurai. It could at least be in some realm of plausibility, but they're so dumb they can't even pretend to care. How the fuck are you going to be a "shinobi", spy/infiltrator by trade and be black in japan of all places? Yeah, he's not going to stand out at all.

Although I suppose in the end they both become assassins so it would be dumb either way. That being said, Assassin's creed hasn't really been about "assassins' in good while so it would still work better.

Afro Samurai Ubishit edition.


"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Not that it matters that much, but the leaker got the two playable characters on AC Red mixed up, the samurai is the black male. Which means they might be doing Yasuke, (Nobunaga's bodyguard in the Nioh series) as a playable character, which would be pretty cool, and i'm in day one. Very Happy

https://www.eurogamer.net/ubisoft-reportedly-shutdown-a-data-security-incident-earlier-this-week

Quote:
Ubisoft is reportedly investigating an "unknown threat actor" who allegedly gained access to the company's Microsoft Teams, Confluence, Atlas, and SharePoint channels for 48 hours before access was revoked.

According to the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit and as reported by Bleeping Computer, screenshots allegedly taken during the 20th December hack have since been leaked online. Ubisoft has reportedly confirmed it is investigating an "alleged data security incident".

"December 20th, an unknown Threat Actor compromised Ubisoft," tweeted vx-underground. "The individual had access for roughly 48 hours until administration realised something was off, and access was revoked.

"They aimed to exfiltrate roughly 900GB of data but lost access," vx-underground adds. It's not clear what, if any, data the hacker obtained before they were kicked from the system.

Apparently, the "threat actor" would not share how they got initial access, but upon entry into Ubisoft's internal systems, the hacker "audited users access rights and spent time thoroughly reviewing Microsoft Teams, Confluence, and SharePoint".

Access was revoked before the threat actor successfully exfiltrated Rainbow Six Siege user data.

"We are aware of an alleged data security incident and are currently investigating. We don't have more to share at this time," Ubisoft said in a statement to BleepingComputer.

Marvel's Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games has now released a statement addressing the ransomware attack on its studio earlier this month, the release of stolen data this week, and the spread of information on upcoming projects now circulating the internet.

The PlayStation studio had stayed silent until now, something it said was a result of it being "focused inward" to support team members. Personal data was included in the breach, Insomniac confirmed, but the studio is still "working quickly" to examine the impact.

On the spread of stolen material relating to Marvel's Wolverine and other, upcoming game projects, Insomniac said it would share information "when the time was right".


What if it was some good samaritan trying to completely nuke skull and bones from all existence, what then? Sad

https://www.eurogamer.net/consumers-must-be-comfortable-not-owning-games-ubisoft-subscription-boss-says

Quote:
Ubisoft has updated its subscription model, and said consumers need to be "comfortable with not owning [their] game".

Ubisoft+ will now feature two revised tiers. Ubisoft+ Premium (£14.99/$17.99 per month) will include all new releases and - in some cases - early access to games alongside premium editions, monthly rewards and more. Ubisoft+ Classics on PC, meanwhile, is a brand new curated selection of popular back-catalogue and live games (£6.99/$7.99 per month).

Director of subscription Philippe Tremblay told GamesIndustry.biz there is "tremendous opportunity for growth" for subscription models, but the mindset of consumers needs to change.

"One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen," he said.

"They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That's a transformation that's been a bit slower to happen [in games]. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect... you don't lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That's not been deleted. You don't lose what you've built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game."

He added: "I still have two boxes of DVDs. I definitely understand the gamers perspective with that. But as people embrace that model, they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue, and you'll be able to access them when you feel like. That's reassuring."

The amendments to the Ubisoft+ subscription are off the back of analysing consumer behaviour, after which "we saw an opportunity for us to evolve," said Tremblay.

"When we look at how gamers engage with our different games, we see that our back catalogue is still very active and alive. So we saw an opportunity to offer these worlds to our consumers for a lower fee. And this is a response to the behaviour that we saw from players."

Over the past four years, the company has seen "millions" of subscribers according to Tremblay - some sign up for one game for a month or two, while others stay for longer.

"There are multiple behaviours," he said. "There are definitely a lot of people who come in for one game and then decide to buy it after [the subscription ends]. That's part of the reality and that's ok with us."

In an interview on the Ubisoft blog detailing the new subscription tiers, Tremblay stated a subscription is a "great way to introduce our games to brand-new players" and "it really speaks to the model as a means to expand their horizons".

To combat the churn of users unsubscribing, Ubisoft aims to build value. "We've made the commitment to bring more games to our subscribers," said Tremblay. "So, looking into the future, we have an exciting lineup that they'll be able to play either in early access or on day one, and then we'll eventually have the Activision Blizzard catalogue, too. Alongside the perks and our rich, diverse back catalogue, we believe we're offering a compelling reason for our players to stick around."

Microsoft sold the streaming rights of Activision Blizzard games to Ubisoft to ensure its $68.7bn acquisition was successful.

Ubisoft's latest release, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, is available now on the subscription ahead of its general release. The metroidvania game is the "ideal way to bring gaming's original Prince back to life," reads our review.


No Phil, it is you and the rest of the ubishitters that need to get comfortable sucking big ones as soon as that PoS of a company goes tits up. But ubishitters are probably into that anyway, so...

Poor ubineona tho Sad
