Over the past few days, the industry has been wondering: had Ubisoft been acquired? Rumors spread quickly, especially after the unexpected delay in the publication of its quarterly financial report. However, the French company has now cleared up any doubts: Ubisoft has not been bought out and its accounts reflect a more solid situation than many had expected.

The new financial report, published this morning, completely rules out an acquisition by Tencent or any other tech giant. In fact, the company has far exceeded its revenue projections, dispelling speculation that arose from the delayed presentation.

Ubisoft exceeds expectations and strengthens its market position

• The publisher had projected revenues of $450 million, but ultimately reached $490 million, surpassing its own forecast by a wide margin. Much of this performance comes from veteran titles like Rainbow Six Siege and Far Cry 6, which continue to show strong growth even years after their release.
• The company also highlights that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has performed better than expected during the last quarter. Both new and veteran players have returned to try out the Las Garras de Awaji expansion, solidifying the franchise as one of Ubisoft’s main sources of revenue.

The report makes it clear that the company remains in a stable phase, reinforcing its release strategy and without any extraordinary corporate movements. For now, Ubisoft remains completely independent… and with a 2026 packed with projects that have yet to be announced, such as the rumored remake of Black Flag.
