this game looks so fucking dated, got the delays for this really fucked it's impact.

I dont see Ubisofts next fiscal being good with how extraction went, how Prince of persia went back to the drawing board for the remaster/remake. Splinter cell is like years away, no one gives a shit about Ghost Recon, division, watch dogs. Literally Assassins creed, rainbow six, For Honor only things making money. They closed down their F2P within a year of release already.

Like 2021 going into 2022 Assassins creed was their ever green title. It's literally the biggest title bringing in money at the moment on top of farcry 6.

As I remember for this year they have:
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction
  • Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (Switch)
  • Roller Champions
  • Mario x Rabbids 2
  • Rabbids: Party of Legends
  • Trivial Pursuit Live 2
  • Skull & Bones
  • Avatar
  • Rocksmith+
  • The Settlers
  • Several mobile game and DLC and updates for previous games
  • Plenty of stuff added to PS+ and GP
  • [Pretty likely 2023] Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland
  • [Rumored/leaked by Jason Shredder] New Assassin's Creed
Last year was the best year in revenue for the Far Cry series wit Far Cry. AC Valhalla is the best selling and top grossing game in the series, which sold 155 millions before AC Vallhalla release. Seems they'll continue their yearly revenue growth trend.

Quick question... is this free to play or a full price game?
They mentioned preorders and that it will have plenty of free post launch content, and they did spent a ton of money on it so I assume it's a full priced paid game.

You just proved my point though I said in previous post Assassins creed and FFarcry are their biggest money makers for console games anyway. They literally shutdown that big BR F2P game already. Extraction sold like dogshit. It's their evergreen titles carrying them.

Avatar could be huge though.

What are the sales of Extraction? Avatar will be huge, like many of the other games released tihs year. I don't know if they'll have a Just Dance this year too, it's one of their best selling series. Made more money than Far Cry, as an example. AC and FC aren't their only moneymakers. Many of their series are big moneymakers, like Rainbow Six, The Division, Watchdogs, The Crew, Rabbids, etc. Games like For Honor continue doing a great job, they make a shit ton of money every year from catalog (originally released in previous fiscal years) titles.

Black Flag is probably my favourite AC game, mainly for the ship stuff, but this looks like a step back - you can’t leave your shop, I didn’t hear any shanties etc.

Might give it a try if it’s on Extra…damn, only been subbed fir 3 days & I sound like a Gamepass welfare gamer.

An Ubisoft game, probably they want to milk it hard, so definitely need to buy it, probably additional DLC's or expansions, I smell some MTX thrown in there... I admit, I didn't watch the videos yet (I will at some point today), but given Ubisoft's history.

And it's also PVP, right?

Is this single player?
They said the whole can be played in single player but it's easier and more fun to play it in coop with friends. You can enable or disable the PvP, which would mean you would be able to attack and loot other players or be attacked and looted by them.

They mentioned to have planned months and eventually years of post launch support with updates where they'll adds loads of free content of all kinds. Didn't mention paid dlc, mtx or season passes but I assume they will be there.

This is the kind of game I wanted to play but will wait for reviews and perhaps a small gameplay section. It doesn't look that good anymore, and something tells me the development hell it faced kinda screwed the original vision.

Thanks. I will just wait how it turns out and how good it can be played solo. I also assume it will require a permanent internet connection, in that case I don't think I will bother.

Rainbow Six Seige is their biggest game by far. Asscreed does well. Far cry flopped again.
