Ubisoft Entertainment SA fell the most since September after the French video-game company announced another delay in its popular Assassin’s Creed franchise and analysts expressed doubts about its takeover prospects.

The stock dropped after the videogame maker said it expected a decrease in third-quarter net bookings and pushed back the release of its blockbuster game for a second time.

Yesterday, Assassin's Creed Shadows was delayed again to March 2025, and it's unlikely that this ongoing uncertainty around Ubisoft is helping development matters. In a new press release that arrived alongside the delay, the Assassin's Creed maker has once again mentioned that it's looking for extra investment in the company as it heads into 2025.
