While the team did not comment on The Division 2, it did comment on Breakpoint. Ubisoft stated that critical reception and sales during the game’s first weeks were very disappointing.

Focus Home Interactive has announced that both A Plague Tale: Innocence and GreedFall had successful launches. As the press release reads, for the first six months of its 2019/20 fiscal year, Focus Home Interactive posted revenues of €79.8 million. In case you’re wondering, this is an increase of 80% in comparison with the same period of last year.
Focus Home Interactive claims that the strong performance in the first half of the year was driven by the successful launches of A Plague Tale: Innocence and GreedFall. The publisher claimed that Greedfall showed a stunning start and beat overall expectations.
