Falling Short of Expectations

Ubisoft had pinned its hopes on Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) to revitalize its financial outlook, highlighting them as key "value drivers" in its Q1 2024-25 sales report. However, J.P. Morgan analyst Daniel Kerven revised his sales projections for Star Wars Outlaws downward from 7.5 million units to 5.5 million units by March 2025, citing the game's struggle to meet expectations.

Share Price Decline

Following the game's August 30th release, Ubisoft's share price experienced a consecutive two-day decline, falling 5.1% on Monday and an additional 2.4% by Tuesday morning. This drop marked the lowest share price since 2015, adding to a year-to-date decline of over 30%.

While critics generally praised the game, player reception has been less enthusiastic, reflected in a 4.5/10 user score on Metacritic. This contrast highlights a disconnect between critical acclaim and consumer demand. One outlet, Game8, gave the game a 90/100 rating, calling it "an exceptional game that does justice to the Star Wars franchise," showcasing the disparity in opinions.
