Ubisoft, one of the important names in the gaming world, attracted attention last year with the financial difficulties it experienced and the decrease in its stock value. During this difficult period, the company sought various strategies to establish its future on solid foundations and increase its value. Recently, the possibility of Ubisoft forming a partnership with Chinese technology giant Tencent, especially in order to control important game series such as Assassin's Creed, has been on the agenda.
A New Era Begins with Tencent
In recent news, Tencent is reported to have plans to invest in Ubisoft and will submit a formal offer by the end of this month. According to Bloomberg's sources, a deal is expected to be reached after this offer. If this collaboration happens, Tencent will play a major role in supporting and managing Ubisoft's major game series. Especially Assassin's Creed Managing iconic series such as under Tencent's influence could be an important step for the company's future.
Ubisoft's Search for Stability
Ubisoft has been looking for solutions to restore stability after its market value fell significantly last year. In October, the Guillemots family, one of the company's major shareholders, began developing strategies to recover the company after this decline and take solid steps for the future. In this process, Ubisoft began looking for investor support and targeted Tencent in particular as a strong partner.
A Long-Awaited Step
It can be said that Tencent's decision to cooperate with Ubisoft has been on the agenda for a long time. Both the decline in the company's market value and financial difficulties had reinforced Ubisoft's need for a strategic investor. If Tencent accepts this deal, Ubisoft will be able to secure its future and gain a stronger position in the global market.
Ubisoft's planned partnership with Tencent could have a huge impact on the gaming world. If the deal goes through, both parties could win, and this strategic move could solidify Ubisoft's long-term success.
