South Park: The Fractured But Whole Delayed Again, But At Least Rainbow Six Has 15m Registered Players

Ubisoft has released its financial results for Q3 2016-2017, revealing – among other things – that South Park: The Fractured But Whole will now be launching during the company’s fiscal year 2017-2018. That means the game could drop any time between April 2017 and the end of March 2018. That’s a pretty big launch window, but we’re hopeful Ubi will release the latest South Park closer to the April 2017 end.

Overall, sales of €529.9 million were recorded for quarter three 2017, while the first nine months saw sales of €811.3 million. Key contributors to this figure include Rainbow Six: Siege clocking up 15 million registered players and record daily active users, while The Division has also seen its daily active users rise by 152.3%. Ubisoft also saw sales of its back catalogue achieve a new record over the last nine months, accounting for 57.1% of total sales.

Record digital revenue for the same period also saw an 84.4% rise compared to last year, seeing digital sales of €383 million. That’s 47.2% of Ubisoft’s total sales. As for Ubisoft’s major 2016 releases, Watch Dogs 2’s launch was seen to be “not as dynamic as expected”, but Ubi also noted that “momentum [is] now positive. Open world winter sports game Steep, meanwhile, performed “slightly higher than expected,” so that’s nice, isn’t it?

South Park: The Fractured But Whole will be launching for Xbox One, PS4 and PC during the fiscal year 2017-2018. Watch this space for a solid release date hopefully sooner rather than later.
