Overview

  • The first such unit, in partnership with Tencent, will manage Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six under co-CEOs Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot.
  • Q1 net bookings fell 2.9% to €281.6 million as Ubisoft cited technical pricing issues in Rainbow Six Siege and a delayed partnership now expected in Q2.
