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.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.

Xbox Game Pass deals are reportedly drying up, and that’s bad news for indies
Logo, Green, Recycling Symbol

Ask most players why they subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and they'll probably mention day-one Xbox exclusives. But developers have long viewed the service differently. For many indie studios, a Game Pass deal wasn't just extra exposure — it was financial security before launch.

Landing a Game Pass deal often meant guaranteed revenue before a game even launched, reducing the financial gamble of releasing an indie title into an increasingly crowded market. Now, that safety net may not be as dependable as it once was.

I just played Ghost of Tsushima on a phone. I never thought I’d see this day and I’m not regretting this misadventure
Running Ghost of Tsushima on the Red Magic 11S Pro almost feels wrong

I have tested plenty of gaming phones, but nothing quite prepared me for watching Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut boot up on the Red Magic 11S Pro. This was not cloud gaming or something like Remote Play from a PlayStation sitting somewhere else in the house. I used GameHub, linked it with Steam, and after some trial and error, had the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running on a phone--and it was far more playable than I expected.

And yes, it looked as ridiculous as it sounds. Seeing Jin Sakai on a phone screen with a GameHub overlay, virtual shoulder buttons, and a live FPS counter sitting on top made the whole setup seem a lot more viable.
