While the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has gone swimmingly for Ubisoft, with millions of sales and generally positive sentiments about its latest open-world RPG, it’s felt like a company in deep trouble recently. Prior to Shadows, it experienced a string of flops like XDefiant and Skull and Bones, its stock price tanked, and it conducted a critical review into how its business was being run and how it can change its fortunes.
