Ubisoft considers Far Cry 6 a "AAAA" game

[John Elden Ring]

Ubisoft recently caught the industry's attention by considering Skull and Bones a AAAA game and simply defended the price of US$ 70 for the standard edition.

The curious thing is that it seems Ubisoft has been classifying its games as AAAAs for quite some time. As it turned out, before it was officially unveiled, the company considered Far Cry 6 to be a "AAAA" game.



The information was found on the LinkedIn profile that Ubisoft was developing a new AAAA project that ultimately became Far Cry 6 itself, available since 2021.

Okay Ubisoft, I still don't. Unless AAAA is code for 'mediocre game'.

That was the shitty one, right? I'm noticing a trend here...

Here we go again.

I bet Far Cry 3 is still the serie's peak.

Ubisoft might be one of the worst publishers out there.

AAAA means game with a budget considerably bigger than the average AAA game.

According to Moby Games Far Cry 6 has 7,156 people on its game credits (6,846 developers, 310 thanks). It was developed from 2016 until its 2021 release, plus I assume more work they did post launch in some of its DLCs.

The average AAA released nowadays has around 1000-2500 people credited.
