Ubisoft’s stock got crushed over 9% today in Europe after an abysmal new game launch of its most important franchise Assassin’s Creed. Not only are the reviews coming in poor with a current Metacritic score of 76 on the Xbox One version, which is only 1 point higher than the critically panned Activision’s Destiny, the game’s bugs and poor performance is becoming a laughing-stock right now on the Internet. There are thousands of posts flooding message boards and Youtube showing graphical glitches, crashes, and frame-rate problems.

Assassin’s Creed Unity is reminding gamers of EA’s Battlefield 4 launch problems last year, which was so bad the developers of the next Battlefield game had to literally promise their game “will work”when it comes out. 

Ubisoft would have been better off to delay Unity like Take-Two does frequently with their Grand Theft Auto games than to release it in this state. The market has noticed the poor response today and punished the company for it.
