Ubisoft is trying to rebuild momentum. It is banking on its biggest franchises for this comeback, as revealed in its latest earnings report. But the French publisher/studio isn’t just relying on the familiar names and is even bringing generative AI as the next experience.

According to Ubisoft’s FY2025-26 earnings report, the company expects a much stronger content pipeline across FY2027-28 and FY2028-29, with releases tied to major brands including Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon.

What’s Ubisoft planning?

The next year is lighter by design. Ubisoft says FY2026-27 will include Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, which is scheduled for July 9, 2026, alongside other targeted premium games based on established brands. The company also talked about its seven discontinued projects and delayed six others as part of a broader portfolio reset.

Banking on its popular franchises isn’t really surprising. These are massive video game series that have a massive established fanbase. This includes Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon. Aside from this, multiplayer titles like Rainbow Six Siege, The Division 2, and The Crew have helped the company achieve a strong Q4 performance, while Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence are a part of the mobile push—despite their slow start.

Why AI has gamers worried

The most unusual part of the report is Ubisoft’s mention of Teammates, described as its “first playable Generative AI experience.” The company says it is accelerating investment behind the project to “enrich player experiences.”

Ubisoft also says its teams are making progress on AI tools for development pipelines, including more intelligent bots for quality-control teams, smarter NPCs, and game worlds that can adapt to player behavior and react more dynamically in real time.

It already has many gamers nervous. Generative AI in games is still a sensitive topic when it comes to video games. The big question is whether these tools help developers or quietly replace human craft.

The harder part will be proving that Teammates is something players actually want to experience. The reception on social media is already pretty negative, as players are worried about the quality.

Your GTA 6 ‘physical copy’ could expire before you even play it
Rockstar has confirmed that Japanese PS5 download codes won't remain valid forever.

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
