Ubisoft is currently considering the establishment of a new company aimed at attracting investors, with a focus on selling key franchises like Assassin's Creed. According to Bloomberg, the company is in the process of negotiating with potential investors, including Tencent and various international and French funds. The market value of this new entity is projected to surpass Ubisoft's current market capitalization of $1.8 billion.
However, these plans are still in the discussion phase, and Ubisoft has not yet finalized any decisions. The success of this venture hinges on the performance of the upcoming release, Assassin's Creed Shadows, which Ubisoft is banking on heavily. The company has reported that pre-orders for the game are progressing well.
Amidst these developments, Ubisoft faces another controversy in Japan. Takeshi Nagase, a member of both the Kobe City Council and the Hyogo Prefectural Assembly, has publicly criticized the depiction of religious elements in Assassin's Creed Shadows. He finds it offensive that the game allows players to attack monks and shoot arrows at temple structures. Additionally, Nagase is particularly upset about the portrayal of the Engyō-ji temple in Himeji, where the character Yasuke is shown entering with dirty shoes and damaging a sacred mirror within the temple.
