“The Chinese tech company and Guillemot Brothers Ltd. have been speaking with advisers to help explore ways to stabilize Ubisoft and bolster its value,” the Bloomberg report states.

It’s said that one of the options on the table would involve taking the company private. That said, talks are “at an early stage” with no certainty that an agreement will be reached.

“Tencent and the Guillemot family are also considering other alternatives,” sources told Bloomberg.


 
I knew holding the ninja AC game back as a trump card when the company starts going downhill was a bad idea. Because now the ninja AC game isn't being made by the studio that made the games we liked, negating any incentive the setting adds. Like, yeah, it's Assassin's Creed with ninjas... but there hasn't been a fun AC since Origins, and that wasn't exactly AC.
 
Ubisoft went from my fav game developers to my least. Far cry 3 and 4. Assassins creed 2, brotherhood were peak gaming
 
Yeah, this is the kind of route I would expect those scumbags to take. Try to fix the aimless direction of your company? Create new experiences instead of playing it safe and remixing the same game a dozen ways? No, try to cash out and run by selling your company to a Chinese behemoth!
