Have you somehow missed the Mario and Rabbids thing? Or South Park?
Or the fact that their most successful game recently is The Division.
And that any and every of their recent AAA games features XP, crafting, purchaseable skills (sometimes in a clumsy and limitative way).
And that they claim everywhere that they want to "battle for player's time" and have you "spend hundreds of hours" in their games.
And that even when they make a *racing game* it's actually an RPG with XP and loot and parts quality and rarity (The Crew).
We'll see how AC Origins is looking, but if it's not already the case with that one, every single thing about Ubisoft right now indicates that in a few years from now, every single AAA game they do will be an RPG, wether you want it or not : D (except if it's an e-sports oriented multiplayer game like FH or R6).
Anyone thinking BGE2 will be a story driven action-adventure game is sorely deluded I think.
