ZombiU’s unprofitability places the franchise in mothballs; forces a multi-platform release for Rayman Legends

Speaking with GamesIndustry International, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has said that ZombiU‘s poor performance means that the game doesn’t have a sequel planned, and that its low sales have basically forced the company to release Rayman Legends — once a Wii U exclusive — on multiple platforms.

Rayman Legends‘ multi-platform release on Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360 will “ensure the creativity of those games could have a big enough audience,” Guillemot said.

“We hope it will take off,” Guillemot continued, speaking of the Wii U itself. “At the moment, we’ve said, ‘Let’s do through Christmas and see where we are from there.'”

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
