In March this year, Ubisoft announced the establishment of a new subsidiary with Chinese gaming giant Tencent to develop the "Assassin's Creed", "Far Cry" and "Rainbow Six" series.In Ubisoft's 2025 fiscal year financial report, Ubisoft revealed that the subsidiary will "focus on building a brand ecosystem and become a billion-euro-level evergreen series."

Subsidiaries will focus on:

Improve the quality of narrative-driven single-player game experience

Extend real-time services to provide richer multiplayer features and more frequent content updates

Ubisoft's technology stack significantly improves content creation capabilities

Expand to markets with low penetration, such as mobile and China

Ubisoft’s collaboration with Tencent is partly due to Ubisoft’s attempt to gain a foothold in the Chinese gaming market or enhance its mobile gaming portfolio.

At present, what we don't know about this new subsidiary is how much impact this will have on Ubisoft developers.

Before announcing the key development directions of the new subsidiary, Ubisoft report said, "is currently reshaping the operating model to better meet player needs, provide excellent game quality, and promote stricter capital allocation. Management plans to announce a new organizational structure by the end of the year."

In the report, Ubisoft said it would reduce costs through "continuous targeted restructuring", which means Ubisoft will announce more layoffs by the end of this year.
