Via PH Brazil (Switch 2 Leaker):

  • The decision to delay was also influenced by the terrible sales of Star Wars: Outlaws, they were expecting the game to be huge.
  • After recent titles underperforming (like Outlaws) they weren't feeling safe to release a bugged Assassin's Creed game anymore, like they did with previous titles in the past (Origins and Unity).
  • Ubisoft is expecting the game to sell 10 million units, like previous mainline titles.
  • Ubisoft is internally feeling confident with the game's overall quality - minus the bugs (based on internal playing and previews).
  • Overall sentiment inside Ubisoft is 'fear their next games are going to keep floping'.
  • Splinter Cell Remake has been internally delayed, it's in pretty bad shape. No release window.
  • Ubisoft was planning to release a Splinter Cell Blacklist Remastered in 2024 back in July.

Blacklist was surprisingly really good. I was bummed Ironside wasn’t Sam but it played exceptionally well and was a proper splinter cell game again.

Would love to see Splinter Cell come back. Those first 3 games were industry changing.

I like conviction too. Don't understand why they aren't just dropping deniable ops campaigns evey few months, or little story chapters. Something like those reoccuring Hitman contracts, as I understood them.

Not like GAAS daily raids or seasonal overhauls, but MP/dlc story based post-release after-support. Aren't we missing a middle ground here somewhere? GAAS is just leaning too far into greedy practices.

I agree. I used to replay Deniable Ops so many times in Conviction.

It seems like every publisher in general either goes "big" or not at all when it comes to live service. There's no middle ground at all.

IIRC Conviction is available on Steam/osx and Xbox BC atm. Everyone gives Batman flow combat or TLOU punch lssers their props, but Conviction had its environmental interrogations and stuff too.
