Ubisoft launches Vantage Studios subsidiary to develop its biggest franchises
"Ubisoft previously announced that it was working with Tencent on a new subsidiary focused on its biggest games. Now that offshoot has a name: Vantage Studios. The new operation, which Ubisoft describes as a "creative house," will be responsible for the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six series. It includes studios in Montréal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona, and Sofia, which Eurogamer reports consist of 2,300 employees."
"As previously announced, the subsidiary will have two CEOs in Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot, the latter of whom is the son of Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot. Ubisoft is looking to use a similar model for its other studios and franchises moving forward, noting that it "plans to set up additional creative houses and group its brands and franchises under the banner of a shared DNA and development expertise.""
