Create your own handcrafted drinks with up to 8 friends as you create the tearoom of your dreams!

Sichuan, China – July 24th, 2026 – Indie developer Caikemi, in partnership with publisher Erabit, have launched their comical co-op management game Boba Cafe Simulator today on Steam. To commemorate its grand opening, there’s a 35% discount now through July 31st, knocking the price down from $15.99 / €16,49/ £14.49 to $10.39 / €10.72 / £9.42 for early adopters. Craft drinks by hand, design menus and prices, place equipment, decorate your shop, handle customer flow and delivery platforms—and build your ultimate milk tea empire. Do you have what it takes to make “Sugarville” into the top name in the industry?

You’ve been reborn to run a milk tea shop, either solo or with up to 8 players in online co-op. Create your signature drinks from scratch! From lemonade to fresh orange tea, classic bubble milk tea, coffee and seasonal special drinks – every beverage is hand-crafted by you. Cut fruit, brew tea, cook tapioca pearls, grind coffee beans, add ice and syrup. Keep your fridge stocked, and unlock 120+ recipes.

Design every aspect of your cafe’s decor. Name your shop and start decorating. From shelves, to counters, and digital signs to wallpapers, lamps, and even bedding—everything can be placed, rotated, and adjusted. Build the milk tea shop of your dreams.

Of course running a boba cafe requires more than making great drinks and a cool vibe. You also need the business acumen to keep your shop afloat! Customize your menu and pricing freely. Do you want low prices that will bring in a high volume of customers? Or premium drinks with high margins? Make business decisions ranging from which delivery apps to use, balance your contract fees, revenue splits, and traffic. Hire employees and decide your management style. Do you want to exploit labor—or build relationships and uncover their personal stories? Juggle tasks with your real-life friends in online co-op, and see if you have what it takes to remain friends afterwards.

Bear in mind seasonal preferences, as weather affects demand. Who wouldn’t want a hot cocoa in winter—or an ice-cold watermelon juice in summer? Enjoy limited-time drinks for Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival, Halloween, Christmas, and more. Explore night-only shops, rare items, magical potions, and mysterious goods. A milk tea shop owner who doesn’t know alchemy isn’t a good wizard. Serve mysterious customers at night—something good might happen.

Manage your work/life balance by doing side activities like farming, fishing, and taking care of your pet companions. Go outside, socialize with neighbors, build relationships, and unlock exclusive recipes or furniture blueprints. Kindness is always rewarded… but sometimes your more troublesome customers need a good knock about the head to help them get their “beauty sleep” and become more responsible citizens. 

With the warmth of one cup of tea, save a universe on the brink of sweet collapse.

“Boba Cafe Simulator takes you behind the scenes of what goes on at a supposedly tranquil tearoom,” said Lowenzahn, environment artist at Caikemi. “Full of workplace chaos, wanton violence, and magical recipes, Boba Cafe Simulator provides a madcap scramble for you and your friends and you attempt to work together to create a customer experience for the ages!”

We are a two-person indie game development team based in Sichuan, China. We create games in our spare time alongside our full-time jobs, driven by our passion for making fun and memorable experiences. Yang YiMing – coder and gameplay designer. Lowenzhan – gameplay designer and environment artist.

About Erabit:

I like you so much!”, and “Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show“, as well as successful mobile ports like “Brotato”, “Halls of Torment“, and “Mini Airways”.

Q1 Net Bookings reached €256m, down 9% year-on-year and slightly above guidance. The outperformance was driven by a record performance for Invincible: Guarding the Globe while the rest of the catalog performed in line with expectations. The year-on-year decrease mainly reflects a high comparison base, as Q1 FY2025-26 included significant bookings from Assassin’s Creed^® Shadows following its release in March 2025.

Strong launch of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced in July, achieving 84 on OpenCritic and Metacritic, with 3.5 million copies sold-in to date, exceeding annual expectations within its first 14 days.

Further progress on Group Transformation:

• Industry veteran Christoph Hartmann appointed General Manager of Creative House 2.
• Additional rightsizing across the organization, with the closure of the Winnipeg and Belgrade studios, targeted changes across the Group’s Global Publishing organization and the restructuring of the Ubisoft Barcelona studio.

FY2026-27 and mid-term outlook confirmed.

Paris, July 23, 2026 – Today, Ubisoft released its sales figures for the first quarter of fiscal 2026-27, i.e., the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Yves Guillemot, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said “We delivered first-quarter net bookings slightly above guidance. This performance was led by a record contribution from Invincible: Guarding the Globe while the rest of our portfolio, including Rainbow Six Siege, performed in line with our expectations.

We also continued to execute our transformation. This included further targeted rightsizing actions and the ongoing reconcentration of resources towards our highest-potential opportunities. At the same time, the leadership of our new operating model and organization continues to take shape, including the appointment of Christoph Hartmann to lead Creative House 2 in building a world-class portfolio of battlefield-driven experiences.

The strong launch of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced in early July by Vantage Studios is an encouraging proof point. The game is the highest-rated Assassin’s Creed title since the original Black Flag, and we are very pleased with the praise it received from players. Two weeks in, the title has already exceeded the annual expectations we had. I would like to warmly thank the teams whose talent and dedication brought it to life. This launch illustrates the enduring appeal of the Assassin’s Creed brand, as well as the early benefits of our ongoing transformation and commitment to delivering very high-quality experiences.

Finally, today we are confirming our FY2026-27 objectives and mid-term outlook. FY2026-27 remains a year of disciplined execution as we continue to implement our transformation, invest behind our strongest opportunities and prepare for a significantly stronger content cycle. We are confident this new operating model will strengthen our position as a leading creator of high-quality, memorable and engaging entertainment experiences, and enable the Group to return to a stronger trajectory of performance, cash generation and long-term value creation.”

Q1 ACTIVITY

First quarter net bookings reached €256 million, down 9% year-on-year, and slightly above guidance. The overperformance versus guidance was driven by Invincible: Guarding the Globe, while the rest of the catalog performed in line with expectations. Back-catalog bookings stood at €221m, down 15% year-on-year, mainly reflecting significant bookings from Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the prior-year quarter, following its release on March 20, 2025.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six^® Siege performed in line with expectations this quarter. Year 11 Season 2 delivered one of the best battle pass conversion rates for a season without a new operator and the meta-driven rotating changes brought depth and variety to the experience. Overall, average DAUs throughout the quarter were slightly up on the back of a comparison base that benefited from the launch of Siege X and its free entry point in June last year. Looking ahead, Season 3 will introduce a new shield-counter defense operator, a highly requested addition, and the Legends Division, a new playlist targeting core competitive players. The game engagement will also be supported by its participation in the Esport World Cup in August taking place in Paris.

Elsewhere in the catalog, Live Services titles were supported by the regular rollout of new content. The Division^® 2 released Year 8 Season 1 this quarter, which helped deliver improved monetization trends year-on-year driven by virtual currency conversion and DARPU records. The Crew^® Motorfest benefited from the NASCAR-themed Season 9 that released in March as well as the RC Frenzy playlist and the inclusion in the PS+ subscription service, which drove robust year-on-year growth in active users and session days.

On the mobile side, Invincible: Guarding the Globe delivered a record quarter in terms of net bookings more than 2 years after launch, outperforming expectations. Momentum built through the period thanks to the March release of the TV series’ fourth season and the introduction of a new in-game character, which together drove meaningful player acquisition, retention and monetization.

FY2026-27 CONTENT ROADMAP

Released on July 9, 2026, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has made a strong startwith 3.5 million copies sold-in to date, exceeding annual expectations within its first 14 days. The game is praised by critics and players alike, with a current 84 review score on OpenCritic and Metacritic, making it the highest-rated Assassin’s Creed game since the launch of the original Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag in 2013. Following launch, player sentiment continued to strengthen, and the game showed robust player engagement, with a record performance for the franchise on PC as it reached a peak of around 105k concurrent players on Steam, the highest ever recorded for an Assassin’s Creed title on the platform. This translated into a historical proportion of sales for the franchise on PC, led by the US and Chinese markets. In addition to the enduring appeal of the Assassin’s Creed brand, Resynced is an early demonstration of the expected benefits of the Group’s transformation and its focus on enhanced quality enabled by the revamped, cutting-edge proprietary Anvil engine.

Resynced demonstrates Ubisoft’s ability to leverage proven catalog brands through remakes to win over a whole new generation of players. Similarly, Rayman^® Legends Retold was revealed recently and is set to launch on October 1, 2026, marking the franchise’s 30^th anniversary. Early hands-on coverage has been encouraging, with press highlighting the new visuals and cinematics, expanded worldbuilding and new gameplay additions that build on the original’s celebrated foundation. This premium remake, co-led by Ubisoft Montpellier and Milan, reimagines the acclaimed platformer in full 3D, deepens its world and introduces fresh gameplay ideas while preserving the original’s DNA.

PROGRESS ON GROUP TRANSFORMATION

Appointment of Christoph Hartmann to lead Creative House 2

Christoph Hartmann was appointed General Manager of Creative House 2, bringing nearly 30 years of experience building, scaling and operating global gaming organizations. He notably spent 20 years at Take-Two Interactive where he supported early releases in the Grand Theft Auto franchise and co-founded 2K Games. In his new role, Christoph will oversee Creative House 2’s strategic direction and the long-term development of its portfolio that includes beloved franchises like Tom Clancy’s The Division^®, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon^® and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell^®. March of Giants, a forthcoming multiplayer online battle arena game that Ubisoft acquired in December 2025, has also joined Creative House 2.

Continued execution on cost reduction initiatives

As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance collective efficiency and focus resources on its strategic priorities, the Group continued to take targeted actions this quarter. In June, Ubisoft announced the closure of the Winnipeg and Belgrade studios, targeted changes across the Group’s Global Publishing organization and a restructuring at the Ubisoft Barcelona studio.

• Net bookings down by a high single-digit percentage,

The line-up for FY2026-27 includes Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, released on July 9, Rayman Legends Retold, scheduled to launch on October 1, and Just Dance^® Decades of Hits, scheduled to release on October 13. The line-up also includes other targeted premium titles based on established Ubisoft brands to be announced at a later stage, as well as continued Live Services content updates across the Group’s portfolio.

Ubisoft is currently reviewing available financing options with the objective of addressing upcoming maturities, extending its debt profile and maintaining financial flexibility. The review is actively progressing, with the objective of executing the most efficient financing scheme in due course.

Beyond FY2026-27

The Group expects a significantly stronger and diversified pipeline of content to come over FY2027-28 and FY2028-29, supported by releases across its major brands including Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry^® and Ghost Recon as well as an acceleration of its Live Services driven by Rainbow Six Siege. In this context, the Group expects to get back to Free Cash Flow generation and positive non-IFRS EBIT in FY2027-28 and generate robust Free Cash Flow in FY2028-29, with positive cumulated Free Cash Flow during the FY2026-27 to FY2028-29 period.

DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO’s new content, the “Super Limit-Breaking NEO DLC”, will be released on 30 July 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

As detailed in the Producer Letter, this DLC will introduce a new solo mode called “Limit Breaker Journey”, where players can choose their favourite character, develop their abilities and customise them through a variety of battles. Players will navigate the map, select opponents based on their strength and use Battle Arts to gain advantages. Character stats can then be increased, allowing players to shape their fighter to suit their preferred playstyle.

The DLC also includes four new Episode Battles, 33 new characters from DRAGON BALL, DRAGON BALL Z, DRAGON BALL SUPER and DRAGON BALL GT, as well as four new stages.

But that’s not all, as a free update will also introduce gameplay changes and new mechanics. “Sparking! Boost” allows players to spend a large amount of Skill Stock to further increase their attack power while in Sparking! Mode. However, once the boost ends, their stats will be temporarily reduced. “Chain Blast” is a new mechanic that creates an additional follow-up opportunity after sending an opponent flying. By switching to a reserve ally and continuing the attack with a blast, players can deal massive damage. Variations of existing stages will also be added in this update.

DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. The “Super Limit-Breaking NEO DLC” will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. More details regarding the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions will be announced at a later date.

Additionally, a first look at Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort was shared ahead of its September 10 arrival.

Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions

Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions delivers all-new narrative content and high-tier gear as the latest piece of premium paid DLC. Arriving July 30, Bounty Pack 4 will be available in two parts for individual purchase: the core narrative expansion, Murders and Acquisitions, and Vault Card 4.

In Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions, players will venture through a polluted desert canyon known as the Toxic Scowl to assist Levaine, leader of the Electi, in settling a score between feuding Ripper factions: the pacifist commune known as The Flock and an aggressive group known as The Blasphemers. This all-new repeatable mission introduces choice-driven encounters that result in different dialogue, altered combat situations, and varied final boss fight assistance depending on the choices made.

Players can access this mission after the first encounter with Levaine in Carcadia Burn during the main campaign. Completing the mission unlocks a Vault Hunter Skin usable by all Vault Hunters, a Vehicle, and an ECHO-4 Drone Skin. Vault Hunters who are brave enough to take on the final boss and three mini-bosses in the Toxic Scowl will be rewarded with a chance at new exclusive loot including one new Pearlescent weapon and six new pieces of Legendary gear.

Available alongside the narrative content, Vault Card 4 allows players to earn desert-chic rewards, including 24 cosmetic items and four pieces of rerollable gear, through gameplay. Progression is driven entirely by experience gained through exploring Kairos, killing enemies, and completing Daily and Weekly Challenges. More information on rewards can be found in the blog here.

Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort, All-New Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker, and Bounty Pack 5

Launching September 10 alongside the Version 1.10 update, Story Pack 2 centres on the return of the legendary beastmaster and playable Vault Hunter from Borderlands 3. This all-new narrative campaign follows FL4K making their triumphant return and continuing The Hunt on Kairos to track down their missing skag companion Mr. Chew. The pursuit leads to a volcanic, overgrown resort on a lush jungle island where the Tediore corporation is beginning a covert invasion.

September 10 also marks the launch of an all-new playable Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker. Loveless is an ex-Anshin hacker turned assassin equipped with high-end cybernetics and a self-created digital virus that can digistruct into a physical extension of her will.

Also coming September 10 is Bounty Pack 5, featuring new narrative mission content and Vault Card 5. More details regarding this upcoming Bounty Pack will be shared closer to launch.

Players that own Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition are automatically granted access to all of the content from the Bounty Pack Bundle (Bounty Packs 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Vault Hunter Pack (Story Packs 1 and 2), while Borderlands 4 Deluxe Edition grants the Bounty Pack Bundle.

Kitten Space Agency is free to download on Ahwoo, with optional contributions allowing players to support development directly. The free spaceflight simulation game aims to make real-world orbital mechanics, rocketry, and spacecraft systems accessible to everyone. 

While community contributions currently cover around 2% of RocketWerkz’s total real-world development costs for Kitten Space Agency, they represent a healthy foundation for a project at its present stage. Those costs include not only the dedicated Kitten Space Agency team but also RocketWerkz’s Enterprise team, who are developing BRUTAL, the underlying framework that powers the game.

To achieve the scale and accuracy required for true space simulation, RocketWerkz engineered BRUTAL as its proprietary framework. Kitten Space Agency simultaneously simulates Kepler planetary dynamics and Newtonian physics across an entire solar system, allowing players to design intricate vehicles, simulate propulsion, plan long-duration trajectories, and execute precise orbital manoeuvres.

Development on Kitten Space Agency has been actively underway since mid-2024, with public pre-alpha build releases launching in November 2025. While the project is still in early pre-alpha, RocketWerkz has focused heavily on building the core fundamentals needed to support the game long-term, including orbital mechanics, spacecraft systems, vehicle simulation, modding, and large-scale space simulation.

“KSA is being built from the ground up, not only by our talented in-house team, but through the feedback and support of its passionate contributors,” said Dean Hall, CEO, RocketWerkz. “It represents a huge technical and community effort for the studio. We’re building the foundations carefully, working in public, and giving players the chance to be part of the project from the very beginning.”

Kitten Space Agency’s pre-alpha build is available to play now on Ahwoo. Support the mission by joining the developers on Discord, Reddit, and Ahwoo. Follow the team on X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube.
