Stating that they believe they can remain independent in the game industry to investors, he said that they will also evaluate Ubisoft purchase offers.
After Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard, various guesses and rumors about other big companies started to circulate. Ubisoft, known for its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six series, announced that they will evaluate the purchase offers. Yves Guillemot, chairman of the board, gave compelling responses when asked what platforms they might release their games on in the future should Ubisoft resist any side should there be a potential polarization in the industry.
Ubisoft is open to purchase offers, but wants to stand on its own
Executive, UbisoftHe said he believed that .
“We will continue to have access to all these platforms as all platforms need great content. If we continue to make great content as we do today, we will have access to all these platforms. For example, we are the number one third party publisher on the Nintendo side. Nintendo is involved in everything we do, even developing games together in a fruitful collaboration.
To date, we have made decisions in line with the interests of our employees, players and shareholders, our stakeholders. Ubisoft can remain independent: We have the talent, the financial scale and a broad portfolio of original IPs. On the other hand, if there was an offer to buy us, I’m sure the board would review it, of course, in the interest of all stakeholders.”
According to Guillemot’s statements, Ubisoft is very confident in the projects in hand and believes that they can stand alone and release games for all platforms. However, a possible proposal has been given the green light. It is a question of whether there will be a move from Microsoft or Sony after Ubisoft’s statement.
