Rumors abound about potential buyers for the company, which has been plagued with problems lately.
The snack goes. Most recently it is Bloomberg who writes that Ubisoft talks to potential buyers about a sale of the company. It all does not seem completely unreasonable given all the problems that Ubisoft has faced recently, with falling stock prices, sales that did not meet expectations and internal personnel issues that received a lot of negative attention.
According to Bloomberg, it is the venture capital company that currently knows Ubisoft on the pulse, two of which are named: Blackstone and KKR & Co. And according to the site Kotaku, Ubisoft will for a year inquire about potential buyers and their intentions.
The big boss Yves Guillemot has relatively recently said that Microsoft intends to buy Activision Blizzard for 68 billion dollars, that the company can remain independent of other owners:
“We have always made our decisions in the interest of our stakeholders, which are our players, employees and shareholders. So Ubisoft can remain independent. We have the talent, the industrial and the financial scale, and a large portfolio of powerful IPs.”
But at the same time he left the door open:
“Having said that, if there were an offer to buy us, the board of directors would of course review it in the interest of all stakeholders.”
Given what the recent past has delivered in the form of unexpected acquisitions, a Ubisoft store might not raise too many eyebrows.
