Ubisoft's Next Digital Showcase Dated for September

Ah engagement... the most important metric.

I hope they clean up shop first. Their earnings call today sounded ‘interesting’.

Interesting to see the atmosphere surrounding Ubisoft in the coming months with the findings in the past week regarding their behaviour.

Wonder how many will vote with their wallets?

Thats the problem with modern times, "engagement" not the fact their show was a bit rubbish. Watchdogs and Assassin's Creed may well be fine games but where were the long forgotten franchises or spark of genuine creativity? Ubisoft don't care because they had engagement, I wonder if they view the current engagement over their work culture just as favourably

@Jacko11 As if "recycled gameplay" wasn't enough of a sales deterrent, the recent sexual misconduct stuff is just absolutely a nail in the coffin for me.

Uninstalled any Ubisoft games I had installed, blocked their emails, blocked them on social media, and don't plan on ever buying anything from them again, honestly. Good riddance.

I was quite shocked watch the Jimquisition stuff what they said too a lady that worked there was shocking.

Honestly it’s absolutely disgusting that PushSquare has buried the real story here.
You had no problem posting articles about micro-transactions & EA/Activision, but Ubisoft is off limits🤔

Yea I honestly cant stand EA or Ubisoft anymore. Theres no creativity form these publishers anymore. There just cogs in the money machine that's their annual titles. I just wish people would quit buying these titles they been riding for so many years. If Sony wasnt around with the creative freedom there teams get I'd probably severely pull back on my game time.

I got a Free PC game off the last one and AC: Valhalla is sold in my book. Well AMD is paying for my copy with my 3700X upgrade 😉

Hopefully they have some big PS5 2021 stuff in the September one. Not really interested in seeing the same stuff again. Child of Light 2 on Switch would be great also.

I am also not punishing every digital artist at UBI for something they didn't do. Neither should PushSquare make every UBI story about that. 🙄

I too have concerns about the culture at Ubisoft and hope that the recent revelations result in a complete overhaul for the company from a personal and creative capacity.

There are hundreds of talented men and women at the company whose hard work is being buried because of alleged events. They shouldn't be tarred with the same brush.

If new blood comes in, maybe we will see some of that creativity of old that has gone missing from Ubisoft in recent years. As much as i enjoyed AC Origins, the last games i loved from them were Rayman Legends and Child of Light.

I still hope beyond good and evil 2 turns out to have been some kind of april fools joke and they have a proper sequel ready to announce.

I would have expected at least a mention of the absolutely abhorrent findings about ubisoft. I certainly won't be buying any more games from them. As is, their strategy of burying ugly truths by showcasing and leaking new titles is at best crass.

Come on pushsquare i understand they add income too the site but its quite nasty too act like nothing is wrong. You should be ashamed and too call it forward is kinda tonedeaf after what you did too your employees.

@Rob_230 Maybe so Rob but i cant say ok #### it Lets move on that would be horrible. These were no small things either.

I love Ubi games, but they need to clean house before plugging more games and whatever, it feels yucky whilst they remain silent when more and more horror stories come out.

Gonna buy Watch Dogs Legion and AC Valhalla because I happen to like Ubisoft games and they're both looking good.

@Flaming_Kaiser Oh dont misunderstand me, i fully understand your position. I dont feel minded to buy any ubisoft releases either. I just dont want to see innocent people abused by association.

They need calling out and gamers should vote with their wallets. I certainly wouldn't want my daughter working there in its current state.

I have been exceedingly disappointed in most games "journalism" sites over the lack of coverage at what is happening at Ubisoft. It just feels exceedingly weird that there is virtually no coverage of it at all, and Push Square is no different. If you aren't going to cover the emerging horror show at Ubisoft, you don't get to call yourselves journalists. Could you seriously imagine the film media not covering Harvey Weinstein? Instead we can see these sites for what they really are, extensions of the AAA industries marketing departments. Very, very disappointed in "games journalism" right now.

@SirAngry For whatever it's worth, they've repeatedly said that they don't consider themselves journalists anyway.

@SirAngry @Flaming_Kaiser @Johnnycide @Fight_Teza_Fight We have covered the story here: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/07/ubisoft_execs_resign_following_sexual_harassment_allegations

@LiamCroft That was almost 2 weeks ago.
Since then horrific reports have emerged.
Love whoever you want.
Support whoever you want.
Believe in whoever you want.

Just don’t interfere in another persons rights.
Given the horrific recent reports & Yves Guilmont’s admission they have completely overstepped their boundaries.

Yeah, definitely have no desire for anymore Ubisoft games...ever.

@LiamCroft And that is fine, you covered it. Not every news out of UBI needs to be about that.

There are 18,000 employees at UBI. No need for the gaming media to carpet bomb everything they worked on for something they had nothing to do with.

The Verge/Kotaku are reporting on the UBI PS5 prices today. No different from what PushSquare is doing - covering different news topics from 1 publisher.

@LiamCroft sorry, but the ongoing scandal rocking Ubisoft should be an addendum to every story about them right now. Can you imagine a situation in any other industry where a scandal like this wasn't spoken about when referencing the company responsible? I absolutely can't. You're just writing puff pieces and regurgitating Ubisofts press releases uncritically. Sorry if you don't like the criticism, but that's p*** poor journalism.

A cynical person might assume that announcing a digital presentation this far in advance is an attempt to distract from something else.

Three people resigning does not put a nice neat end the issue or absolve the company. It's not business as usual as though everything is okay. Ubisoft's deeply dysfunctional corporate culture not only allowed it to happen in the first place, it protected those involved for years. How is it that people in positions of power get away with this for so long? I think we know the answer. But what is more shocking to me is just how willing so many people are to turn a blind eye to all this because they want to play the next Assassin's Creed or Far Cry.

I think the last Ubi game I bought was AC Origins and that was when it was 50% off. I can hold off for a while until they sort themselves out. Same thing I do with Activision. Last game I bought was Crash Trilogy with them. There is just too many great games coming out of great studios to bother with all these mega corps

I won't support a disgusting company like Ubi. Activision and EA are Naughty Dog compared to Ubisoft, when they get rid of all the trash people that are in high positions I will then take a look a Ubisoft games again.

@Agramonte Im sorry what the guilty got a free walk so i think its not over yet. Im not going too say a #### it it has been 2 weeks already. This has too be adressed and not let guilty walk out with probably a big bag of cash and no consequence.

@LiamCroft Thats nice but i dont see or hear anything about whats changed or responsability so its true the rich can get away with anything. Nice too hear f##k Ubisoft.

F*CK UBISOFT AND THEIR ABUSIVE EXECUTIVES.

So is this site going to report on the fact that Ubi is one of the worst and is made up of a bunch of rapists, abusers, sexists and racists?

After sleeping on this I'm even more annoyed this morning. Can you imagine if news outlets had just done one piece of news on Harvey Weinstein and then just let him get on with making films, and no one asked any deeper questions of his colleges and business? No neither can I, because real journalists see a story and write about it, and try to uncover more. What's even more galling is that some of this abuse tried to come out earlier on apparently, but Ubisoft were able to cover it up because games media were so compliant. This has been going on for nigh on 20 years and there's evidence of a cover up... and one article on it is enough? Continuing to parrot the companies PR spin without talking about the context is OK? No. Sorry it isn't. Push Square isn't the only site guilty of doing a bad job with this, but guilty you are.

@Rob_230 Maybe i should go secondhand market i like the games looks but i cant let it go now.
