Ubisoft cancels development of two games, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game delayed until next year

In a recent email to all employees, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said some projects would be canceled and Ubisoft would cut spending to “essential” projects. He also said that some of the game projects in development will also be canceled, focusing on other higher-priority projects.

Yves Guillemot emphasized that even under these measures, Ubisoft is still targeting an operating profit of more than $400 million.

Affected by the cutbacks, some employees revealed to Kotaku that Ubisoft’s studios around the world have reduced salary increases, reduced recruitment, and froze a lot of budgets, but there have been no layoffs for the time being. As for the game that was clearly affected this time around, Ghost Recon Frontline was deemed to feel too much like Call of Duty: Warzone during testing, so it was reworked earlier this year.
