Shaded Pool Camp at the Healing Waters, maybe my favorite camp just for the uniqueness of it.

When they make a new DLC or a sequel game I hope the budget they will have will be able to make it good and not screw it up much

Did Frontiers of Pandora actually financially succeed? Spoiler: yes, but…

.

To get right to the point: Frontiers of Pandora made a 133 million dollars in January of 2024 and then, presuming half a million or so bought it for DLCs the following year, and even if we assume it never went off sale, it still adds an additional 15-20 million dollars to profits.

So, the game has made a whopping 148-153 MILLION dollars in sales.

That is decent success for a game that isn’t part of an established franchise and relied pretty much entirely on the A2 movie for its promotion, but here’s the kicker. The budget of the game, according to rumours/leaks, is a grossly bloated 120 million.

For comparison, Witcher 3, an open world game with beautiful graphics, ten times the content of Frontiers, a campaign spanning 50 hours and with release date of 2015, had the budget of 81 million. A question arises: where in the hell did a 120 million go? Why did frontiers need such a large budget? I can sadly not afford a definite answer.

Some theories of mine are: the primary chunk has been lent to musicians and concept artists, who made whole new clans, character designs, environments and music to go along with all of it. A clear lack of budget is seen within the latest DLC, as it has nearly no new music compared to the base game score, which perhaps points to the developers at Ubisoft cutting pay on the labour that demanded most of it. Animators and motion capture come in close second as the dlc also severely lacks said scenes with present actors, which was another clear attempt at cutting costs.

Second theory is that, what I think happened, was that the game was severely crunched by a huge team since the executives managed it poorly and it was unable to release in tandem with the movie, hence the budget, as it might have covered salaries for hundreds of people working around the clock to somehow finish the product a year later. Allegedly of course.

In conclusion: the game has made a ton of money but Ubisoft; a company that has lately become infamous for its foolish financial practices, will not be able to enjoy any of it in the wake of their pending projects with equally bloated-out-of-proportion budgets. Allegedly.

But at least the artists managed to create a gorgeous project. Hats off to them.
