On the weekend I tried a Arma3 mod I did not know about. I also own the DayZ Standalone but it lacks content and options for me, since I was more the "stay in the woods", hunt and survive in a small wolf-pack kinda guy. DayZ finally pulled me in and I played the mod a lot. the modding capabilities and options to choose from were always great though. Of course, 2020 will also bring more news about the next Assassin’s Creed and Beyond Good & Evil 2.So, I've never been a big fan of Arma in general. With both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and looming, it will be interesting to see how the publisher adjusts its strategy in time for the new consoles and how games like Rainbow Six Quaratine, Gods & Monster, and Skull & Bones factor in. However, with so many games turning into online timesinks, there was bound to be a breaking point and perhaps that’s what we’re seeing now, alongside some uninspired and jarring game design choices in the case of Breakpoint.Īs a result, Ubisoft has pushed back its entire 2020 slate with the highly anticipated Watch Dogs: Legion due to miss its original March release date. Rainbow Six Siege continues to be the perfect posterchild for this movement with For Honor and Assassin’s Creed having also been supported well throughout 2019. Having been at the forefront of the “game as a service” revolution of recent years, the publisher now finds itself spinning too many plates. The response to both Breakpoint and The Division 2 has caused Ubisoft to take stock.
Unfortunately, it didn’t stick the landing thanks to a strange clashing of design choices and persistent technical issues across the board. With its focus locked on tactical co-op gameplay, a stronger story, and open world survival, Breakpoint seemed like it would be another hole in one for Ubisoft.
Speaking of Tom Clancy games, the announcement of Ghost Recon Breakpoint had many fans excited even if Wildlands had met a decidedly lukewarm reception a couple of years ago. New Dawn – much like Blood Dragon and Primal – took the latest numbered instalment in the series, splitting off to form a standalone adventure with similar mechanics but with a much wilder, more evocative setting. February also saw a new Far Cry game released on major platforms. Trials Rising saw the return of RedLynx’s zany 2D stunting sim in a game that felt more fleshed out than its predecessors without marring its addictive arcade gameplay. Ubisoft got things off to a good start at the beginning of 2019. That said, 2019 has been a challenging year for Ubisoft, ultimately forcing the company to rethink its future leading into next year. With a growing number of popular franchises under its belt, Ubisoft has continued to entrench itself as one of the industry’s powerhouse publishers, but it’s also one that is never afraid to take risks (in the form of both Uplay+ and its commitment to Google Stadia).
