Ubisoft is exploring a potential spin-off company to attract investors, focusing on key franchises like Assassin's Creed. Bloomberg reports that Ubisoft plans to sell a stake in this new entity, with negotiations underway involving Tencent and several international and French funds. The new company's valuation is projected to surpass Ubisoft's current market capitalization of $1.8 billion.
This initiative remains under consideration, and a final decision is pending. Ubisoft may ultimately abandon the plan. The success of the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows release is a crucial factor; Ubisoft reports encouraging pre-order progress.
This development unfolds amidst a new controversy in Japan. Kobe City Council and Hyogo Prefectural Assembly member Takeshi Nagase has criticized Ubisoft's handling of religious themes in the game. Nagase objects to the protagonist's ability to attack monks in temples and shoot arrows at religious buildings. He also expresses disapproval of the game's depiction of Engyō-ji temple in Himeji, citing the protagonist's "dirty shoes" and the destruction of a sacred mirror.
