Ubisoft, led by the Guillemot family, along with Tencent are reportedly in talks to move a grouping of Ubisoft assets over to a brand new venture, according to a fresh report from the folks over at Bloomberg. Assets that could be moved include several of Ubisoft’s own IP.
All of this information comes shortly after a brand new delay to March for the next game in the popular Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, in addition to a floundering company share price.
Ubisoft shareholders seem to feel positive about the decision, given that Ubisoft’s share price has risen more than 5 percent just today.
The Guillemots, Ubisoft’s founding family, and Tencent, a Chinese company which has recently been in the news about being put on a Chinese military company list by the US Government, own the largest stakes in the company, with around 15 percent being owned by the Guillemot family and about 10 percent by Tencent. Recently there were talks of a Tencent buyout, but as of the time this article is being written, no acquisition has been made.
