Ubisoft announced the launch of Vantage Studios, a new “creative house” observing some of its largest franchises.
This unit is the official name The new subsidiary of Ubisoft, supported by Tencent, was originally confirmed in MarchThe field under this transaction, the Chinese conglomerate invested 1.16 billion euros in Vantage (about 1.9 billion US dollars), which gave it a 25 percent share in the department.
The viewing umbrella will include Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, And There are six rainbows Under the sphere of five studios Ubisoft: Montreal, Quebec, Sherbruk and Saginei (all in Canada) and Barcelona. As confirmed earlier, Vantage will be headed by Christophe Derennes and Charlie Hylylmoth, the last of which is the son of the co -founder of Ubisoft and General Director of Iva Hylelmotes.
Interestingly, Ubisoft claims that Vantage will actually be “giv[e] Developers of more practical control over the games that they build. ” The company claims that the unit provides an “optimized approach” for development to create a “higher level of autonomy for developers and a shorter path between the collection and implementation of players feedback, while at the same time, offering the benefits of experience, services, tools and technologies of Ubisoft. Ubisoft says Vantage is the “first step” in its “constant transformation”, since it plans to form “additional creative houses” that group their “brands and franchises under the banner of the general DNA and development experience”.
It is still unknown what it will actually mean for Ubisoft commands, especially in Canada. For context, approximately 2300 employees from these teams work in Vantage, in accordance with EuroGAMER.

In particular, in particular, According to reports, I looked at the ransom ubisoftFollowing his 10 percent share in the company. Of course, this can still happen at some point, but for now, at least two companies have Vantage.
