David Jaffe, the creator of God of War, has advised Sony to consider buying Ubisoft. This suggestion came after the recent Ubisoft Forward 2024 event, which featured exciting updates and trailers for games like Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Jaffe’s Advice to Sony
Jaffe expressed his thoughts on social media, praising the Ubisoft Forward event. He enjoyed the new trailers and updates, especially those for Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Jaffe believes Sony should buy Ubisoft to stay competitive against Xbox.
Ubisoft is known for its popular franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, and Rainbow Six. Jaffe thinks these games could boost Sony’s game lineup. Ubisoft’s creative teams would also be a valuable addition for Sony, enhancing its development capabilities.
PlayStation’s Current Situation
Playstation has been relying on third-party exclusives due to limited first-party output. The recent State of Play was underwhelming, highlighting the need for more substantial moves. Jaffe’s suggestion aligns with the strategy of acquiring major publishers, similar to Xbox’s acquisitions of Activision and Bethesda.
The community has mixed reactions to Jaffe’s idea. Some fans support the suggestion, seeing it as a way to strengthen Sony’s position. Others worry about the potential impacts on both companies and the broader gaming industry.
