Although many media praised "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" as a major return to the series, Ubisoft was probably very happy to hear this. However, the French gaming giant's share price continues to decline as before. As shown above, Ubisoft's stock price is currently 12.46 euros, down nearly 7% from the previous day, which surprised many people because after the game ratings came out, Ubisoft's stock price once exceeded 13.30 euros.
Obviously, the market is still unsure about the future of the French gaming giant. While the company's latest RPG did receive more positive reviews than expected, it doesn't stand out compared to previous Assassin's Creed RPGs.
Ratings show that "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" is not as good as "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", and the Metacritic average score has dropped to 81/100 since yesterday. To put it bluntly, Ubisoft isn't completely out of the woods yet.
If the stock price continues to drop like this, the company may only choose to sell its IP or simply be acquired.
It is worth mentioning that a Ubisoft developer once said that if "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" performs mediocrely, it will not be able to save the French gaming giant.
Ubisoft's current market value seems to confirm this statement. Although the game's reviews are pretty good, it still cannot stop the stock price from plummeting. If "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" could get a score of 90/100 or higher on Metacritic, the story might be different.
Foreign players discovered that the media evaluation of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" seems to follow a certain unified template:
