Ubisoft Makes Itself Attractive to Potential Buyers by Delaying Assassin's Creed Shadows
In a strategy update, Ubisoft announced that the company is pursuing "various transformational strategic and capitalistic options to extract the best value for Stakeholders". These could include an outright sale or a break-up of assets and franchises. And the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed until March 2025.
Ubisoft is taking steps to reshape the group following the strategic and operational review launched by the Executive Committee a few months ago. The publisher has appointed "leading advisors to review and pursue various transformational strategic and capitalistic options to extract the best value for Stakeholders". This process will be overseen by the independent members of the Board of Directors. Ubisoft will inform the market in accordance with applicable regulations if and when a transaction materialises.
