Part 6/10:
Ubisoft has been battling a series of setbacks over the past few years. Notably, recent AAA releases such as Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed: Shadows underperformed significantly, disappointing both critics and fans. The company has also faced internal challenges, including studio closures, layoffs, and allegations of misconduct. These issues have already strained Ubisoft’s reputation and financial stability.
Further complicating matters are rumors that Ubisoft’s founders might have been exploring options to take the company private, possibly with Tencent’s support. Although Ubisoft has dismissed the idea of going private, recent events suggest that they might be considering drastic measures to stabilize or reposition the company.
