The latest twist in the ongoing Ubisoft drama has occurred today, with outlet Bloomberg delivering a fresh report on what's happening behind the scenes at the French game maker.
According to this new report, Ubisoft's founders — the Guillemot family — along with major shareholder Tencent, are considering spinning up "a new venture" relating to Ubisoft. This 'venture' could include bringing over some famous Ubisoft franchises "as they seek to boost the French video-game company’s value", the report says.
To be clear, we're not entirely sure what's actually meant by 'a new venture', and the report is quite vague on details as well. What it does say, is that "a potential deal would allow Tencent to own a stake in the venture and gain more control over some of Ubisoft’s intellectual properties" - which sounds like the existing ownership structure at Ubisoft could be the real issue.
