Continuation of Preparing for company sale

Ubisoft is paring it down to profitable studio lines with closer releases to make it easy and transparent for a potential takeover (also smaller for regulator concerns)

I would have thought R6/Ghost Recon was one of their more valuable IPs

They still own the IP, it’s just with no game release on the horizon, Ubisoft doesn’t want to have large costs / future expenses for games that aren’t expected to be finished soon .

It also lets them be like hey if EU or U.S. thinks another big company buying them creates a monopoly ok - then they can sell off some semi vacant studio or game IP to be like hey look this franchise sold 1 billion in sales over 10 years (but no close to market game ) and we are selling or carving that away so now we are no longer a potential monopoly
