Ubisoft formula started to get really boring after years of incremental changes. This's what they need right now even if it's gonna take years to see the results.

After Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ubisoft is making developers pitch why their games are unique to approve it

People loved the finally version of Wildlands and Breakpoint is a giant step back in almost every aspect. For me Wildlands was just fun so I was excited to try the beta of Breakpoint. It literally made me nauseous due to the really weird camera angle. Add to that boring vehicles, boring shooting, boring missions, boring story... it just wasn't fun. I'd rather just replay Wildlands honestly.
TLDR - make a sub-par game, get sub-par sales

"Okay.... in our game you are the cat on board of a pirate space ship and the story takes place during the second galactic war"
"we do love the unique aspect of it, but can we make it open world and add some towers and collectibles?"
"umm... we kinda thought it would be a linear narrative, pretty story-driven"
"we would like to underline our appreciation for the uniqueness... you said something about pirates?"
"*sigh... we'll just make Black Flag 2..."

The OP doesn't reflect that the source is Jason Schreier talking in the Kotaku SplitScreen podcast, which adds weight to the rumour.
In any event, it's the right call. One of the trends Ubisoft needs to counter is that the same mechanics are bleeding into every game. They can't differentiate on theming alone.

Can someone explain to me how during a gen where studios are releasing fewer games and taking longer to make them, this studio convinced Ubisoft and their customers they made a worthwhile new entry in 2 years?
I honestly thought Breakpoint was a DLC. Had no idea it was a full game allegedly.
Seems like theY made it crazy fast after Wildlands.

you say that as if they haven't been. Since 2017 alone we've gotten AC Origins, South Park 2, Mario+Rabbids, Far Cry 5, AC Odyssey, and Division 2, which have all been excellent. They've been far more good than bad lately
Not really. It's what some people say. But lately they have been putting to much of the same aspects in too many games. I think we can agree on that. And if you don't agree, many others certainly do. I'm a fan of many Ubisoft games myself. Loved Division 2 and Watch_Dogs 2 this gen. Still want to play South Park and Mario and Rabbids. I've heard Origins is good but i can't stand playing that anymore. Feels too much like a chore to me and takes too much time. Although it does look good.
Remember when Ubi said that GaaS was their present + future and that smaller titles weren´t in their cards anymore? That statement can´t be older than 2 weeks. I can´t believe I say this but Breakpoint was godsent in disguise. Here is my pitch: Rayman 4 on the Switch with Michel Ancel producing. Basically Breath of the Wild as a jump & run with a huge interconnected world like in Jak 1.
There is no way that the long lost Wild will survive the Ubi restructuring. You heard it here first.

Eh, that sudden of a turnaround?
