Ubisoft cancels six games, including ‘Prince of Persia’ remake

Ubisoft (UBSFY) said that, in the context of a persistently more selective market as illustrated by the last quarter, and as part of the finalization of the Group’s new operating model, Ubisoft has conducted a thorough review of its content pipeline over December and January. This has led to the strategic decision to refocus its portfolio, reallocate resources and comprehensively revise its roadmap over the next three years. As a consequence, the measures taken are: Ubisoft has discontinued six games that “do not meet the new enhanced quality” as well as more selective portfolio prioritization criteria at Group level. These include “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” remake as well as four unannounced titles, including three new IP’s, and a mobile title. In parallel, the Group will allocate additional development time to seven games in order to ensure enhanced quality benchmarks are fully met and maximize long-term value creation. This includes the unannounced title initially planned for FY26, that has been delayed to FY27.
