Ubisoft is facing delays for its upcoming game and is reviewing strategic options, leading analysts to speculate about a potential sale. The beleaguered French publisher postponed the launch of 'Assassin's Creed Shadows' and appointed advisors to consider a full or partial sale. Tencent is seen as a likely candidate, with previous reports suggesting discussions with the Guillemot family, who hold the largest stake in Ubisoft. Analysts believe Tencent's acquisition would boost its international expansion plans.
With Ubisoft's latest Assassin's Creed game facing delays and independent board members reviewing strategic options, analysts are speculating on whether the gaming giant may finally put itself up for sale.
Tencent also acquired Sumo Group , a U.K. video game maker, in 2021. "Any sort of ownership or stake in Ubisoft would help Tencent increase its presence in that sector of the games market," Batchelor added. Guillemot Brothers Many analysts and investors expect the Guillemot brothers will likely play a role in a deal to acquire Ubisoft.
