Tencent, Guillemot Family Are Said to Consider Buyout of Ubisoft

Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Ubisoft Entertainment SA’s founding Guillemot family are considering options including a potential buyout of the French video game developer after it lost more than half its market value this year, according to people familiar with the matter.

Ubisoft stock price jumped 35% after speculation that Tencent may be in discussions to buy Ubisoft (hopefully for IP rights and not to continue developing their current trash)

Division 2 is still one of the greatest games I've ever played. Sadly don't think I'll ever see a Div 3 done justice, not after what they tried to do with Heartland.

If they did they'd be doing it for the IP and gutting the studio.

Which could be a good thing at this point. As it's a French company though I suspect it's sale would be blocked to Tencent.

Tencent already own a stake in the company.

The Division games were brilliant but even more than that, the Anno games, particularly Anno 1800 are utterly utterly superb games. Despite all the backlash people give Ubisoft, they did bring us some top top titles like Anno 1800, which is possibly the finest example of its genre that theres ever been.

Anno 117 Pax Romana is coming out next year. The Blue Byte developers are on the case again.
