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.

AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game
AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.
AMD RX 7800

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.

I wouldn’t have recommended this Nintendo Switch 2 accessory before, but this deal changes everything
Nintendo Switch 2

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2 isn't exactly cheap these days, especially after Nintendo's recent US price adjustments. That's why it's refreshing to see one of the console's accessories getting an unexpectedly deep discount.

If you've ignored the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera because it seemed overpriced, now might be the perfect time to take another look. GameStop has slashed the accessory to just $10, a huge drop from its regular $55 asking price. That's roughly 82% off, making it one of the best Switch 2 deals we've seen in a while. To put that into perspective, the camera now costs less than many Switch 2 carrying cases or screen protectors. At this price, it's much easier to take a chance on an accessory you may have skipped at launch.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release
