Ubisoft’s first quarter results reveal “Driver” delay
This morning, Ubisoft sent out a press release detailing a few financial details for this quarter.
Compared to last year’s first quarter, Ubisoft is doing a lot better, making €160 million this quarter compared to the €83 million from the 2009-2010 fiscal year’s first quarter. That’s a 93% increase! This is almost entirely due to the release of Splinter Cell: Conviction, as well as continued sales from back catalog titles like Assassin’s Creed 2 and Just Dance (people still love to dance with their Wiis, apparently).
For the next quarter, what do you have to look forward to? Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X., for one, and World War II RTS title R.U.S.E.
Unfortunately, not all the news is good in the land of Ubi: The latest edition of the “Driver” franchise has been delayed to the fourth quarter (after the holiday season). Ubisoft cited a “competitive market” at Christmas as the reason for the move. That’s not really having a lot of faith in your product, is it?
In any case, the game will likely see release around February 2011 now.
