Ubisoft's New Financial Schemes and Another Scandal with Assassin's Creed Shadows

Ubisoft is currently exploring the possibility of launching a new company with the aim of attracting investors and focusing on the sale of key franchises, such as Assassin's Creed. According to Bloomberg, the company is in preliminary negotiations to sell a stake in this new entity. Potential investors include Tencent, along with several international and French funds. The anticipated market value of this new company is expected to surpass Ubisoft's current market capitalization of $1.8 billion.

The initiative is still in the discussion phase, and Ubisoft has yet to make a final decision. The success of this plan hinges significantly on the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Shadows, which Ubisoft is banking on to meet high expectations. Pre-orders for the game are reportedly progressing well.

Amidst these developments, Ubisoft faces another controversy in Japan. Takeshi Nagase, a member of the Kobe City Council and the Hyogo Prefectural Assembly, has voiced strong objections to the way religious themes are handled in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Nagase finds it unacceptable that the game allows players to attack monks in temples or shoot arrows at such sacred sites. Additionally, he has criticized the depiction of the renowned Engyō-ji temple in Himeji, where the character Yasuke is shown entering with dirty shoes and damaging the sacred mirror within.
