Ubisoft fait face à un examen financier au milieu du scandale Assassin's Creed Shadows

Ubisoft explore actuellement la création d'une nouvelle entreprise visant à attirer des investisseurs, en mettant l'accent sur la vente de franchises clés comme Assassin's Creed. Selon Bloomberg, la société prévoit de vendre une participation dans cette nouvelle entité et a lancé des discussions avec des investisseurs potentiels, notamment Tencent, ainsi que divers fonds internationaux et français. La valeur marchande de cette nouvelle entreprise proposée devrait dépasser la capitalisation boursière actuelle d'Ubisoft de 1,8 milliard de dollars.

Cependant, le processus reste dans la phase de discussion, et Ubisoft n'a pas encore pris de décision finale. Le succès de ce plan repose considérablement sur la prochaine sortie d'Assassin's Creed Shadows, que Ubisoft est fortement mis en place. La société rapporte que les précommandes du jeu progressent bien.

Cette évolution intervient au milieu d'une autre controverse entourant le jeu, en particulier au Japon. Takeshi Nagase, membre du conseil municipal de Kobe et de l'Assemblée préfecturale de Hyogo, a exprimé de fortes objections à la représentation d'Ubisoft des thèmes religieux dans les ombres de croyance d'Assassin. Nagase trouve l'offensive que le jeu permet aux joueurs d'attaquer des moines dans des temples ou de tirer des flèches sur ces sites sacrés. Il est particulièrement critique envers la représentation du célèbre temple Engyō-ji à Himeji, où le personnage Yasuke est montré entrant avec des chaussures sales et détruisant un miroir sacré dans le temple.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment.

In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
