Ubisoft Buys Amazon’s ‘March of Giants’ and Montreal Studio Team

The publisher positions the 4v4 MOBA for its live-games lineup with Twitch promotion from Amazon.

Overview

  • Ubisoft is taking ownership of March of Giants and integrating the Amazon Games Montreal developers into its organization as part of a completed transfer of the project and staff.
  • Rainbow Six Siege veterans Xavier Marquis and Alexandre Parizeau return to Ubisoft to continue leading the game as creative director and senior production lead.
  • The agreement includes Amazon providing marketing support on Twitch, the deal was set to close by December 16, and financial terms were not disclosed.
  • March of Giants remains in development after closed alpha testing as a free-to-play 4v4 action‑strategy MOBA, with a major 2026 update planned to add new giants, expanded competitive modes, and foundational systems.
  • Ubisoft frames the move as a push into the growing MOBA/live competitive market, following Amazon’s broader rollback of first‑party AAA development earlier this year.
