Ubisoft Employees Fear Layoffs After Tencent Deal and New Subsidiary Formation

Ubisoft Employees Fear Layoffs After Tencent Deal and New Subsidiary Formation

Ubisoft employees are rattled over the potential for mass layoffs—and they have every reason to be.

On Thursday, Ubisoft announced it is forming a new gaming subsidiary in partnership with Chinese tech giant Tencent. The new entity will house the company’s most valuable franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six along with select development studios. While the press release spins this as the start of a “bold new chapter,” internal reactions suggest that the only thing bold about this move is the level of uncertainty it has created for Ubisoft’s remaining workforce.

Ubisoft Forms €4 Billion Gaming Subsidiary With Chinese Tech Giant Tencent for Major IPs Like Assassin’s Creed Amid Reported Financial Devastation

Ubisoft Forms €4 Billion Gaming Subsidiary With Chinese Tech Giant Tencent for Major IPs Like Assassin’s Creed Amid Reported Financial Devastation

Ubisoft is hemorrhaging money. That much has been clear since the release of its catastrophic Q3 FY25 earnings report, which revealed a company in freefall. Net bookings plunged 51.8% year-over-year in Q3 alone. Digital bookings fell 33.8%. Player recurring investment—the bread and butter of live-service games—dropped 33.7%. And the company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio now sits at a nightmarish -21.1x, suggesting Ubisoft is losing money at a rate that makes its financial model unsustainable even before taxes, interest, or amortization are factored in.

So when Ubisoft suddenly announced this week that it had created a new gaming subsidiary—backed by a €1.16 billion ($1.25 billion) investment from Chinese tech giant Tencent—investors were understandably confused. Why would a company circling the drain be launching bold new ventures?

CNN Blames Gamergate for the State of the Modern Online World in Wild Historical Rewrite Propoganda Hit Piece Against Gamers

CNN wants you to believe that a 2014 online movement over video game journalism is responsible for virtually every controversy of the last decade. In its latest attempt to revise history, CNN frames Gamergate not as a call for transparency in media, but as the spark that supposedly ignited a digital wildfire engulfing everything from social platforms to political movements.

Media Touts Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a Success — It’s Not

Media Touts Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a Success — It’s Not

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has finally released, and one might naively assume Ubisoft’s woes are over. Surely, with their self-proclaimed “reputable” marketing and unwavering dedication to historical authenticity, this game will sell like cold lemonade in the desert.

After all, the delays—costing a rumored $20 million—were supposedly to address every issue raised by fans and the barrage of bad press, right?
