Ubisoft's board is launching an investigation into the company's disputes

It was announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors would initiate an investigation and review of the company.

The news came via a financial report and company update that included the delay of Assassin's Creed Shadows and the announcement that Star Wars Outlaws underperformed. The explanation was:

“Given recent challenges, we recognize the need for greater efficiency while keeping players happy. Therefore, beyond the initial key short-term actions, the Executive Committee, under the supervision of the Board, is launching a review aimed at further improving our implementation, particularly in this player-centric approach, and accelerating our strategy We are moving towards a more powerful model for the benefit of our stakeholders and shareholders.

Finally, let me address some of the polarized comments about Ubisoft recently. I want to reiterate that we are a company that puts entertainment first and creates games for the widest possible audience. Our goal is not to push a particular agenda. We remain committed to creating games for fans and players that everyone can enjoy.”

At the time of writing, Ubisoft shares have fallen to 11.42 euros and have fallen drastically in recent months. Last month, Insider Gaming reported that Has fallen deeply.

From conversations with current and former Ubisoft employees, I was told that the move was inevitable and “the signs were there” as many Ubisoft studios were struggling due to poor management. While I have reported on some of these issues in the past, Insider Gaming will be publishing a more detailed report in the coming days or weeks.
