Background
Ubisoft reported a €159 million loss for fiscal year 2024-2025, with net bookings down 20.5% to €1.85 billion. In November 2025, Ubisoft postponed the release of its first-half 2025-26 financial results at the last minute, triggering widespread speculation about the company's future.
Ubisoft created Vantage Studios, a €4 billion subsidiary managing Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six, with Tencent acquiring a 25% stake for €1.16bn. In January 2025, Ubisoft appointed advisors to explore strategic options for the company, allegedly related to a potential buyout deal.
Ubisoft has not confirmed any acquisition rumors, and until the company releases its financial results or makes a formal announcement, all speculation remains unverified. The recent trading halt and earnings delay have fueled speculation but do not constitute evidence of an imminent transaction.
