Ubisoft shares fall to 2015 lows amid scandals

Ubisoft shares have fallen to September 2015 levels, falling to a low on July 19, 2024, after the publication of its latest financial report. On that day, the share price closed at €19.38.

Despite the fact that net revenues in the first quarter of the 2025 financial year reached €290 million with €275 million expected, the share price has fallen by more than 14%. Also, netizens noted that since 2018, Ubisoft shares have fallen in price by about five times.

The decline in the share price is due to recent scandals surrounding two highly anticipated games by the company: Star Wars: Outlaws and Assassin's Creed: Shadows. In the financial report, the company's top managers noted the high ratings of the projects from journalists and gamers, but in reality, both games faced widespread criticism.

Star Wars: Outlaws has received negative reviews since its gameplay trailer was released in mid-July 2024. Players disliked the enemy AI, outdated visuals, and optimization issues.

Assassin's Creed: Shadows has been receiving criticism since its announcement. Netizens are expressing dissatisfaction with the choice of a black warrior as one of the protagonists, as well as the presence of inconsistencies with Japanese history and culture.
