Ubisoft lanza una nueva subsidiaria para las IPS principales con la inversión de € 1.16b de Tencent

Autor:Kristen Actualizar:May 06,2025

Ubisoft ha anunciado la creación de una nueva subsidiaria centrada en su reconocido Assassin's Creed, Far Cry y Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Franchise, respaldada por una sustancial inversión de € 1.16 mil millones (aproximadamente $ 1.25 mil millones) de Tencent. Este movimiento estratégico llega en un momento crucial para Ubisoft, luego del exitoso lanzamiento de Assassin's Creed Shadows , que ya ha superado a 3 millones de jugadores. La compañía ha enfrentado desafíos significativos, incluidos fracasos de alto perfil, despidos, cierres de estudio y cancelaciones de juegos, que han llevado el precio de sus acciones a un mínimo histórico. La presión sobre Assassin's Creed Shadows para funcionar bien es inmensa.

Valorado en 4 mil millones de euros (aproximadamente $ 4.3 mil millones) y con sede en Francia, esta nueva subsidiaria tiene como objetivo desarrollar "ecosistemas de juegos diseñados para convertirse realmente en hoja perenne y multiplataforma". Tencent tendrá una participación del 25% en esta empresa. Los objetivos de Ubisoft para la subsidiaria incluyen mejorar la calidad de las experiencias narrativas en solitario, expandir las ofertas multijugador con lanzamientos de contenido más frecuentes, introducir elementos gratuitos e integrar características sociales en sus juegos.

Ubisoft planea concentrarse en desarrollar su Recon Ghost Recon y las franquicias de la División, así como fomentar sus títulos de alto rendimiento. Yves Guillemot, cofundador y CEO de Ubisoft, declaró: "Hoy Ubisoft está abriendo un nuevo capítulo en su historia". Hizo hincapié en la transformación de la compañía y la creación de una subsidiaria dedicada al desarrollo de la cabeza de lanza para estas tres principales franquicias. Guillemot destacó la importancia de construir ecosistemas de juegos fuertes y sostenibles y aprovechar las tecnologías emergentes para cultivar marcas de alto rendimiento y crear nuevas IP.

La nueva subsidiaria incluirá equipos de desarrollo con sede en Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona y Sofía, que abarca el catálogo trasero de Ubisoft y cualquier nuevo juego actualmente en desarrollo o planeado para el futuro. Esto indica que los proyectos existentes son seguros, sin planes inmediatos para más despidos. Se espera que el acuerdo finalice a fines de 2025.

Esta asociación con Tencent y la formación de la subsidiaria representa un paso significativo para revitalizar las operaciones de Ubisoft y garantizar el éxito a largo plazo de sus franquicias insignia.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Larian Studios or any major publisher confirming that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will receive a free upgrade for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2.
However, here’s what is known:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has already been released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (with enhanced versions on the Switch OLED and Switch 2).
The enhanced version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2 (or the upcoming Switch 2 hardware) has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Larian Studios.
The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Later, a next-gen upgrade was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which included performance improvements, higher resolution, and faster load times. This was not a free upgrade—it required purchasing the new-gen version separately, though players who owned the original on those platforms could get it at a discount.
For the Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version was released in 2022 (for Switch OLED and later for Switch 2), but again, not as a free upgrade.

So, while fans are hopeful for a free upgrade across all new platforms, including a potential free upgrade for the Switch 2, no such official free update has been announced.
👉 Bottom line: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has received enhanced versions on new hardware, but not as free upgrades. Always check official sources like Larian Studios’ website or platform-specific announcements (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) for the latest.
Stay tuned—Larian often surprises fans with new content, but as of now, a free upgrade across PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 is not confirmed.
