Bloomberg reported that Tencent and Ubisoft ’s founding Guillemot family are discussing a potential buyout of the French video game developer, in a story citing unnamed sources. Ubisoft has lost more than half its market value in 2024, and it has taken a pounding for a poorly received Star Wars: Outlaws open world title and a delay in its holiday release Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.
