Ubisoft Axes Six Games Including Prince of Persia Remake, Delays Seven in Sweeping Reorganization

The overhaul prioritizes open‑world and live‑service series under five Creative Houses.

Overview

  • Ubisoft confirmed six cancellations, naming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake and shelving four unannounced projects—including three new IPs—and a mobile title under stricter quality and portfolio criteria.
  • Seven games were pushed back to allow more polish, with one unannounced title moving from fiscal year 2026 to 2027; reporting suggests a Black Flag remake is among the delays, which Ubisoft has not officially identified.
  • The company closed its Halifax and Stockholm studios and began restructuring at Abu Dhabi, RedLynx, and Massive, and it will require most staff to return to the office five days per week with a limited work‑from‑home allowance.
  • Revised guidance now targets roughly €1.5 billion in net bookings and an operating loss linked to cancellations, delays, and cost actions.
  • Ubisoft’s new operating model, set to begin in April, assigns franchises to five Creative Houses and preserves four new IPs in development, including the recently acquired March of Giants.
