They've had huge talent retainment/attrition issues. I imagine they're just going to reorganize folks around the company instead of hiring on any measurable scale.
Also, did we know about Rainbow Six Mobile and a new Crew game?

It is pretty shocking how little Ubi released over the last year. A big loss isn't really surprising.
Hopefully they bounce back and this is a successful year for them. It certainly seems like they have the line-up for it, if everything actually ships in time. (Still sort of can't believe that Skull & Bones will ever come out.)

AC was one of my favourite franchises, but I've become so disillusioned from it that this news does nothing for me

Was about to say that, if they can push something on Origins level I'm fine with it.
I like AC so that's fine, but I can't say I'm overly enthused about the rest of their near-term line up. feels like the pandemic hit Ubi like a truck, it's like they've been flailing around since Valhalla
The credits of recent Assassin's Creed games already last for 30-45 minutes or so with a tiny font lol.
Man, I still remember when AC was only planned to be a trilogy of games like the Sands of Time...
Oh right. Skull and Bones still hasn't come out. Whata ridiculous situation.
I think this says less about what the games are gonna look like and more about how many more AC games they're actually planning to get out the door.
I personally think the series is in the middle of an identity crisis and am not sure that will change even with Mirage on the horizon.

In pursuit of their live service vision, they for some reason could not see the massive GAAS hits they were already releasing. S&B was not too bad when I played it, but does that translate into $70 of game is anyone's guess.
What if they force Redlynx to make a Trials Game based around Assassin's Creed?
Notice how the article leaves out proof that Mirage has actual gameplay. So in my book, it still ain't real.
This 40% increase is from other teams, right? Not new hires?
Seems like Ubisoft is attempting to squeeze the last bit. I fully believe they are essentially dead man walking, just a matter of time.

AC is the only Ubisoft franchise I'm really interested in so I can't say I'm against it. Hopefully it results in better and more complete games, not just larger sized games.
Activision being a colossus on the clay legs doesn't really change the fact that AC is essentially Ubisoft's CoD, between 2009 and 2018 there was at least one new console AC game every year, with every game being made by a half of dozen or so studios that take turns to release a new game. AC mines are as real as CoD mines, have been for a very long time.
Considering AAA games take like four years minimum to develop these days and that count is bound to include mobile, that…doesn't seem that unreasonable, if they want an AC game every year (and I'm sure they very much do).
Ubisoft: "Ya see that basket right there? I'm going to try to see how many of my eggs I can fit in there."
Make a new Rayman cowards.

Ah, the Call of Duty method.
Makes sense as Assassins Creed is by far Ubisofts most valuable IP. I'm kind of surprised The Division never took off but with how bad Heartland looks, Ubisoft seems to have lost faith in the franchise a bit.
