Ubisoft Runs Down Their Finances, South Park Delayed, Switch Games Coming

Ubisoft held an earnings call to run down how 2016 went for the company, and to look forward to 2017 and beyond. As Vivendi continues to eye Ubisoft’s stock, their financial report wasn’t the best of news. Overall, Ubisoft sales in the last part of 2016 were down, and games like Watch Dogs 2 unperformed. However, Steep did better than expected and Rainbow Six Siege is somehow continuing to thrive, with a passionate fan base and new players joining in.

As for the future, Ubisoft changed South Park: The Fractured But Whole’s release date from Q1 2017 to fiscal year 2017, meaning anytime from this April to March of 2018. That’s a pretty significant change, especially since it leaves the window open for a delay of an entire year. It isn’t like anyone is really looking forward to a game full of more South Park jokes, especially after that abysmal E3 conference appearance, but the first game was well received and a sequel has the potential to be better. This changed Ubisoft’s overall sales forecast downward, meaning they expect to make less revenue this next year.

Ubisoft also teased more Nintendo Switch games coming in 2017, and not only Just Dance. Rumors of a Mario/Rabbids board game and Beyond Good and Evil 2 are still circling, so it seems like anything is possible. No company loves a new hardware launch like Ubisoft, so we’ll see what they can bring throughout the year, and if it’ll help them bolster their bottom line.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole Unveiled

Staff — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:39:27 +0000

South Park is back with The Fractured But Whole, a super-hero themed sequel to The Stick of Truth. Players will be able to choose from a variety of classes to team up with the gang and fight crime.

The game retains the look and feel from Stick of Truth, looking indistinguishable from the TV show. Unfortunately, the gameplay shown doesn’t look particularly novel either; with rehashed jokes from the first game.

Nevertheless, Stick of Truth was somewhat of a sleeper hit when it came out, so there’s reason for South Park fans to be optimistic.

Ubisoft kicked off their conference with a trailer for South Park: The Fractured But Whole, the sequel to last year’s The Stick of Truth. The game will feature a similar RPG system although with classic South Park superhero characters like The Coon and Professor Chaos as opposed to fantasy characters.

The trailer features plenty of hilarious meta humor and references to the show, but no gameplay – which is no problem. Watch it below:
