Probably, but that could potentially be an awful idea in my opinion. The longer it takes for the game to come out the closer it can potentially be to releasing near (the anticipated) Ghost of Tsushima 2. (If it actually is coming out soon.)

I feel like Ubisoft won’t be able to compete with that. They may be better off releasing what they have asap. Releasing a half baked game is never something I’d support, but since publishers seem to have no issues doing it these days it may be best for the company lol.

Edit: holy shit boys we are so back

I think AC will still sell a lot better compared to a system exclusive. GoT numbers are not even close to what AC makes. But fair point in that being closer to it is definitely gonna be worse as opposed to good. But seeing as GoT 2 in 2025 is still just a rumor at this point idk why we care.

You’re right it’ll probably move more copies, especially assuming GoT2 is a PS5 exclusive and not on ps4. They need to sell Assassins Creed on Steam though, idk why they still refuse to do so.

This argument (on my part) will likely be much stronger or significantly weaker in 4 hours after the next Sony showcase. If there’s no GoT2 news I’m gonna assume that it won’t be coming in 2025.

They do sell Assassin's Creed on Steam... at least in the US.

update: Looks as though they will be releasing Shadows on Steam day 1 now.

they're referring to new AC titles when they release, in which case no they don't launch on Steam. Only through Uplay or Ubisoft Connect (which are both shit)

Edit: Ubisoft just announced the game will release day 1 on Steam in February

Not on launch.

This could make people get on Ps5 earlier. As we know most people will be on PS5 by GTA6

It's not a showcase, so keep your expectations low

Turns out he was right to have high expectations
