Ubisoft Sells Off HUGE Franchises to Tencent!
Regardless of its popular gaming franchises like Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia, Ubisoft has faced challenges in its business operations. These struggles can be attributed to increasing production costs and underperforming major game releases. The year 2024 was particularly tough for the French company, as its flagship games such as Star Wars Outlaws, Skull and Bones, and XDefiant fell short of their sales targets. This resulted in a drop in share prices and a significant decrease in revenue. Despite the successful launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows at the beginning of 2025, which was often delayed, Ubisoft has decided to restructure its collection of intellectual properties (IPs) by transferring some to a separate subsidiary.
