At the end of last year, there was news that UbisoftNegotiating acquisition with Tencent, but the two sides have yet to reach an agreement. Bloomberg News earlier further reported that Tencent was considering collaborating with the Guillemot family, which holds a majority stake in Ubisoft, to establish a new company using some of Ubisoft's assets, which would also allow Tencent to acquire more of Ubisoft's content resources.
However, Tencent has not responded to this, and Ubisoft said it is still considering any business development possibilities.
If Tencent decides to cooperate with the Guillemot family and establishes a new company with part of Ubisoft's assets, and also allows Tencent to hold shares in the new company, it means that Tencent may further become Ubisoft's largest shareholder and will directly hold Ubisoft on the books.
Prior to this, news indicated that Ubisoft and Tencent might discuss the acquisition, and Tencent hoped to gain more say in the board of directors and reduce the possibility of potential acquisition by other investors. However, Ubisoft hoped to continue to maintain a certain degree of control over popular game assets such as the "Far Cry" series, "Just Dance" series, and "Tom Clancy's" series after the acquisition, but the two parties failed to reach a consensus.
