As we all could feel in our guts, Star Wars Outlaws isn’t gonna be the blockbuster Ubisoft was banking on. Shit’s getting real, folks. Insider Gaming’s spilling the tea, saying Ubisoft only pushed a measly 1 million copies! That ain’t gonna cover the rent, let alone turn a profit. Financially speaking, this is a proper kick in the nuts for Ubisoft, and it’s gonna leave ’em limping for months to come.
Meanwhile, Black Myth Wukong’s over there flexing with its estimated 20 million copies sold in a month after 10 million in just 3 days. Ken Kutaragi confirmed on Tokyo Games Slow. Talk about salt in the wound, right? You just know the suits at Ubisoft HQ are green with envy, probably drowning their sorrows in overpriced lattes.
Don’t get me wrong, Star Wars Outlaws ain’t a total dumpster fire. It’s still worth a shot if you’re into that whole star-warsy cowboy vibe ways… If they actually bother to polish it up, it might even go down in history as a decent game. But let’s face it, being “decent” ain’t gonna save Ubisoft’s ass from the financial shitstorm they’re brewing.
The game industry’s a cruel mistress, and right now, she’s giving Ubisoft the cold shoulder. Let’s see if they can pull a Jedi mind trick and turn this mess around, or if they’ll end up as another cautionary tale in the ever-growing graveyard of overhyped flops.
