The new unit aims to create evergreen, multi-platform game ecosystems as part of Ubisoft's restructuring and growth strategy.

Ubisoft announced the creation of a new subsidiary focused on its top franchises, including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six.
Tencent is investing €1.16 billion ($1.25 billion) into the subsidiary, valuing it at €4 billion.
The subsidiary will prioritize evergreen, multi-platform game ecosystems, expanding multiplayer, free-to-play offerings, and integrating social features.
This move is part of Ubisoft's broader efforts to stabilize its finances, address financial challenges, and adapt to evolving player expectations.
The announcement follows the positive reception of Assassin's Creed Shadows, released a week earlier with an average score of 82 on Metacritic.
