    Ubisoft is continuing its efforts to course-correct after several challenging years. Today, the video game company announced that it will launch a subsidiary centered around three of its most familiar franchises: Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. The as-yet-unnamed subsidiary will fold in the teams working on those three series, including Ubisoft studios in Montréal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona and Sofia.

    Well they didn't entirely sell off to Tencent, €1.16 billion for a 25% stake in the most popular Ubi franchises.

    Should mean these main game series keep rolling, but will be interesting to see what this means to the rest of Ubisoft in the long term.

    @miskkie I thought something like this would happen, I think most did, just not sure in what form exactly. Now we know. Personally, I am more interested if they will stick to that Ubisoft Connect system of theirs, to me it was a bit of a hassle to use it.
