CD Projekt Woes Persist as Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 Updates Delayed "Not unexpected but still underwhelming," Credit Suisse analyst Matthew Walker wrote in a note to clients, referring to game delays and Ubisoft's below-consensus net bookings expectations of 725 million euros-780 million euros ($847 million-$911 million) for October-December.Ĭontinued strong sales of "Assassin's Creed Valhalla", the latest instalment of the franchise premiered in November last year, helped Ubisoft beat its own and consensus guidance for the three months ended September, with net bookings of 392.1 million euros. Ubisoft, maker of the blockbuster "Assassin's Creed" franchise, now expects 2021-22 net bookings - the net amount of products and services sold over a period - to be flat to slightly down year-on-year, compared to previous guidance of single-digit growth.
Its Polish competitor CD Projekt is facing similar issues, delaying the release of "Cyberpunk 2077" and "The Witcher 3" next-generation console versions to 2022 instead of late 2021. Ubisoft is notorious for sneaking eggs into its games (just look at Far Cry Primal), so Tom Clancy’s The Division surely has plenty of Easter eggs that are just waiting to be found.Back in July, Ubisoft delayed the release of sports game "Riders Republic" and multi-player shooter "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction" to October and January respectively.
While The Division may be experiencing problems with griefing and server issues, Ubisoft has filled the game with plenty of fun Easter eggs for gamers to hunt down.
It is unknown if The Division features references to machine maker Donatello or the cool but crude Raphael, but the Easter eggs found thus far suggests nothing good has become of the Turtles. The stalwart leader is nowhere to be found, suggesting the ninja turtle may have gotten caught by the virus. By going into an alley found between 45th street and 43rd, near 2nd avenue, gamers need only look at the dumpster to find a familiar set of blue katanas, resting on top of another box of Radical Pizza. The second Easter egg concerns the groups leader, Leonardo, suggesting the sword-swinging turtle befell the same fate as his brother Mikey. There, lying on the ground, is a familiar pair of nunchucks, accompanied by a box of “Radical Pizza.” This seems to suggest that party dude Michelangelo might have gotten swept up in the pandemic, forcing the turtle to leave behind his signature nunchucks and an unfinished pizza. Egg hunting gamers need only hike to the corner of 31st and 7th street, and look next to the street sign marking the intersection. The first, originally discovered by a Reddit user during The Division’s beta, is very easy to find, but can easily be overlooked. Gamers looking to discover what became of the heroes in a half-shell need only find the two Easter eggs referencing the franchise found hidden in the game. As The Division is set in a near-picture perfect recreation of New York City, it seems as though the development team at Ubisoft was keen to fill the Big Apple with references to its storied history, including the city’s most famous sewer-dwelling denizens, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
