Ubisoft Launches New Subsidiary for Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six

The €4 billion entity, backed by Tencent's €1.16 billion investment, aims to expand these franchises into evergreen ecosystems.

Ubisoft announced the creation of a new subsidiary dedicated to its flagship franchises: Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six.
Tencent has invested €1.16 billion for a 25% minority stake, valuing the subsidiary at €4 billion, while Ubisoft retains exclusive control.
The subsidiary will focus on enhancing multiplayer offerings, introducing free-to-play elements, and integrating social features to build evergreen game ecosystems.
Development teams from studios in Montréal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona, and Sofia will be consolidated under the new entity.
This move follows Ubisoft's financial struggles and seeks to strengthen its balance sheet while capitalizing on the recent success of 'Assassin's Creed Shadows.'
