The milestone was revealed during Ubisoft's Q1 fiscal report, which showed net bookings fell 9% year-on-year to €256 million, though results came in slightly above guidance. Back-catalog bookings dropped 15% year-on-year, largely due to the absence of Assassin's Creed Shadows revenue compared to the prior-year quarter. Ubisoft continues its major restructuring, including studio closures in Winnipeg, Belgrade, and proposed layoffs in Barcelona and its global publishing division. Looking ahead, the company expects a stronger content pipeline over FY2027-29, with new entries in Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon franchises. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
