After the setback of delaying Skull and Bones again to a date to be determined this fiscal year, its sixth delay already, and the rumors about three other unannounced games that would have been cancelled, the French company now seems to focus on the launch of Assasin’s Creed Mirage y Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as its two big bets of 2023. Ubisoft hopes that both games work “incredibly well” in the economic field.
Hardly anything is known about both projects beyond the cinematic trailer with which they were presented to the public, but we do know that Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which was originally going to be a DLC for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, will be a smaller and contained game, similar to the games that preceded the action RPG formula of the last three installments in the series. As for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, we know that it is a very ambitious game as a service created by Ubisoft Massive, although at the moment there are not many details about its narrative or playable proposal.
Ubisoft’s hope in 2023
According to insider Tom Henderson, via Insider Gaming, Ubisoft is hopeful that both Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Avatar: Frontiers on Pandora will perform “incredibly well” on the sales prospects for this 2023. Besides, it is expected that Ubisoft will release other games this fiscal year such as Skull and Bones, Rainbow Six Mobile, The Division Heartland, and a still unannounced game that could finally be The Crew 3, although it is not confirmed at the moment. If they have something else in the pipeline, we will have to wait to find out.
This is why Ubisoft is delaying and canceling its games
The curious thing is that, despite being Ubisoft’s two big bets for 2023, neither Asssssin’s Creed Mirage nor Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora currently have release date confirmed for this year. The only thing confirmed is that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an intergenerational game that will reach both the previous generation of consoles, as well as the current PS5 and Xbox Series X | S, and PC. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, on the other hand, is a next-generation game and is expected to launch exclusively for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
