In a recent twist of events, a CD Projekt Red executive has taken a subtle jab at Ubisoft for their failed attempt to designate Skull and Bones as a “AAAA” game. This move comes as a response to Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, trying to justify the $70 price tag on the long-delayed game by labeling it as such. This labeling tactic is often used by big-money companies to signify high production values, but in reality, it holds little meaning beyond the game’s budget.
The Rise of AAAAA Games
With video game budgets soaring to unsustainable levels, the industry has found itself in an AAA Arms Race. Skull and Bones made history as the first AAAA game, but CD Projekt Red is not backing down. The Witcher 4 and a Cyberpunk sequel are set to redefine the gaming landscape with the world’s first AAAAA game. The question now lies in who will step up to the challenge next and develop an AAAAAA game.
A Glimpse into The Witcher 4
Aside from the playful banter, CD Projekt Red has also teased fans with information about The Witcher 4. Promising new gameplay elements and mechanics not seen in the original trilogy, the upcoming RPG is shrouded in mystery. Little is known about the game, not even its official title, but one thing is for sure – developers will not be replaced by AI in the making of the sequel.
The gaming industry is on the brink of a new era with the introduction of AAAAA games. CD Projekt Red’s bold move to counter Ubisoft’s labeling tactics has set the stage for a new standard in game development. As fans eagerly await The Witcher 4 and the Cyberpunk sequel, the anticipation for these groundbreaking titles continues to grow. Only time will tell who will dare to push the boundaries further and create the world’s first AAAAAA game.
