Ubisoft has just made an extreme decision that changes everything for its greatest licenses such as Assassin's Creed or Far Cry.
We have known it for a while, Ubisoft draws his tongue. Malt management, internal problem, controversy, played games published in disasters, delay of calendars, project stations … The list is long and it is cold in the back, we won't be lying. Assassins Creed shadow, which is released from pain in view of the general atmosphere and the vital state of the company A real box. It is one of the biggest franchise starts and is already coloring the millions. So much the better, since then The game is really very good! But it is not enough to get the French giant out of the Kneader. To do this, Ubisoft had to make a radical decision and work with a titanium in the industry.
Share the new Ubisoft strategy to better rule
This is a step that will be engraved into the history of the publisher forever: Ubisoft separated into two parts and isolated its greatest licenses in a new subsidiary. This most radical decision thus enables the Chinese giant to adequately 25% of the shares in this new branch and inject a total of 1.16 billion dollars. A deal that enables Ubisoft to swing back by developing its preferred licenses.
At the moment, Ubisoft has only confirmed three flagship licenses for this new company: Assassin's CreedPresent Rainbow six Et Far away. It is not surprising, the most productive. All other licenses are still in the hands of the main branch of Ubisoft. The aim is therefore to bring more money to revitalize the development of several important franchise companies and save the accounts. We won't lie. This maneuver enables the company to be re -evaluated in step. A second chance and certainly the last one for UBI.
Despite this department, the finance director Frédérick Duguet also wanted to assure everyone by stating that Ubisoft is now managed elsewhere Ghost Reconor The Department. “We will also support the development of other brands, including Ghost Recon or the division” he said.
An earthquake for the company that also affects several thousand employees who are transferred to this new subsidiary. According to our colleagues, the latter would be visibly anchored and managed in France.
At the moment everything is still too fresh to see clearly, but we should have clarification in the coming days or in the next few weeks.
