For competitive multiplayer games, Ubisoft It’s a little strange. On the one hand, he boasts one of the world’s most successful and faithful shooters in the siege of the Rainbow Six. On the other hand, it had infamous flops like Hyperscape and, more recently, Xdefiant. There were also many games that were cancelled, like Ghost Recon Frontline and Division Heartland. And there were a lot of multiplayer projects that were rumored to be from really interesting to true propositions to true propositions, “What the heck are you thinking?” Ideas. I think this latest one might fall into the latter category… A new report from the trustworthy Ubisoft Insider claims it is working on a new battle royale game “strongly inspired.” The Legend of the Pillar.
There is no denying that there was a huge boom in battle royale games in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Pubg, Fortnite, Call of Duty Warzone, Apex Legends, and more were all portrayed in the crowd. Ubisoft was reportedly obsessed with the battle royale trend and was commissioned to 12 BR projects. The only project to fully begin as a real battle royale experience lasted less than two years before it was closed.
However, Battle Royale Mania is in decline. Warzone was in decline before the recent Verdansk update regained some of its magic. Apex Legends is also in a recession, with player numbers falling significantly over the past 12 months or so (at least in steam). However, according to this new report from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, Ubisoft executives are seeing it as an opportunity, not as a warning sign.
Most of the Battle Royale projects have been discarded and have been transformed into different types of experiences over the past few years, or both, but one is said to be still standing. “Heavy Inspiration” from Apex Legends explains that one of Henderson’s sources has “very similar” characters with designs that mimic Pathfinder, Wraith and Lifeline. Codenamed “Scout,” the artwork from Apex Legends, reportedly also used as an internal thumbnail for the project.
“I think the goal is to reduce the number of players in Apex and take advantage of their (Ubisoft Higher-ups) player count.
Currently, Henderson has a solid track record when it comes to Ubisoft’s leaks, but given the company’s recent struggles, audits, ruthless culling of live and developing games, I have a hard time believing this. Even Ubisoft, which was regularly bagged for suspicious decisions, can’t you believe this is a good idea? Furthermore, the source’s claim that UBI executives want to take advantage of Apex’s declining player count has actually happened at a rate of concern over the past 12 months or so, but doesn’t exactly line up with the fact that the project is clearly being developed for “at least a few years.” I’m not saying Henderson is definitely wrong here, I’m just telling you to take this with salt above salt. if Actual Apex Legends is struggling, but why do you think Ubisoft’s own spin in Respawn’s game will work?
I love nothing but Ubisoft brings the genre to a new place and drops the fascinating and fascinating battle royale that sparks new interest in it, but I have not seen it happen. With attention shifting to extract-based multiplayer games and PVE cooperative games, it becomes a high order.
