No More Standalone Titles...
![photo 21_zps3995967b.jpg](https://2img.net/h/i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/Rukiafan23/21_zps3995967b.jpg)
Ubisoft's upcoming title Watch Dogs could be the last fresh new title from the French developer as Ubisoft has said that they will no longer create stand-alone titles and will instead focus on games that are a part of an existing franchise or games that they feel will become successful franchises.
Ubisoft said in an interview with The A List Daily the senior vice president of sales and marketing of Ubisoft Tony Key said that the economy has made stand-alone titles not profitable and that franchises should be the only focus.
Ubisoft is fairly confident that Watch Dogs could become a new franchise, unfortunately, however the same can't be said about ZombiU.

i havent lost all hope for ZombiU yet. Hopefully Ubisoft will come back to it in the future.

Well there are a lot of Indie developers out there who will be releasing original titles so it's not a big loss. But it is a bit disappointing because I thought Ubisoft were a bit different and prepared to take more risks than other publishers such as EA.

It looks like Ubisoft will be publishing Cloudberry Kingdom though.

It's developed by an indie developer, but Ubisoft has decided to publish the game for them. ![Wink](/users/1414/12/80/00/smiles/816866652.gif)
