The game was revealed at the end of 2021, with the closed beta then delayed following a rather negative reaction from the community.
On top of that, two more unannounced games have been canceled, but we know nothing about those.
We also heard that the company intends to “stabilize its headcount” by the end of the current fiscal year ( March 2023) back to levels of the previous fiscal year.
Earlier today Ubisoft also announced that Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has been delayed to the next fiscal year (between April 2023 and March 2024), with another but smaller premium game also suffering the same fate.
Incidentally, CEO Yves Guillemot mentioned that the delay of Avatar was mostly determined by the fact that the working conditions in the industry nowadays are more difficult, as developers don’t go to the office as often.
On top of that, as the video game industry continues to grow, it’s more and more important that the game will be perfect at release.
