A crazy 2022 is coming.
Along these years Ubisoft has been known to be the video game company behind names like Assassin’s Creed, Prince of Persia, Rabbids, Rayman, Just Danceamong others, which have managed to a greater or lesser extent to be a real success at a global level in terms of sales, thus giving rise to the French company being one of the largest in the sector.
However, it must be said that what seemed unthinkable before can now be a reality, since Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard and Bethesdaas well as the tendency of large companies to acquire studios has made anyone can be boughtwhether by Microsoft, Sony, EA, Take Two, Tencent, among others.
Ubisoft CEO talks about the possibility of another company buying it
It was at the company’s investor meeting when the CEO of Ubisoft was asked about the company’s position when it came to being acquired by another big player in the video game industry. Faced with this question, Guillemot replied that Although Ubisoft is independent, if an offer for its purchase arrived, they would review and study it.
Guillemot in fact affirms that Ubisoft’s main assets are its licenses, its assets, its workers, its studios, among many other elements of the company, these being the ones that allow it to remain an independent companybut, as has been pointed out, they do not close the doors to buy.
It must be said in this regard that Ubisoft was one of the companies that had the most ballots to be acquired by Microsoft according to rumors before the purchase of Activision Blizzard was confirmed. In fact, despite being in a lighter range, the recent history of both companies is very similar, since Ubisoft has also reported cases of harassment, abuse and labor exploitation.
