It is clear that there is many movements within Ubisoft. The French company is one of the great engines of the video game industry and in recent weeks rumors have emerged about a potential sale. The Guillemot family still has control of the company and they are now looking to strengthen their position.
And it is that far from a future sale, from Seeking Alpha they point out that the company is looking to associate with a private equity firm. This information contrasts with an increase in the value of Ubisoft on the stock market over the last day by more than 10%.
They point out from the media that the Guillemots hold 15.9% of the shares of the conglomerate and 22.3% of the net shares with voting rights, which gives them the enough power to oppose the sale by another company. Although the continuity in the direction after Yves Guillemot is in doubt, the family seeks not to lose Ubisoft.
The surveys for a possible purchase come from the firms Blackstone and KKR, which are carrying out preliminary analyzes of Ubisoft. Of course, for now there is no firm offer or any indication that it will be carried out.
Meanwhile, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has changed developers, while Skull & Bones has finally been seen after several years of absence.
