oh come on, even if the guy *is* qualified the optics of this are so far down the barrel its effectively in the orbit of jupiter. Waving that away with "my name doesn't matter" is obscene. It clearly does.
Ubisoft has named CEO Yves Guillemot’s son as the co-CEO of its new Tencent-backed subsidiary.

Asked to address concerns of nepotism, Charlie Guillemot said: “What matters now isn’t my name, it’s the work ahead."

Game is officially out everywhere in the world. Really glad that people are enjoying it or at least give interesting points on it.
I'm especially proud on my team that work really hard to make the stealth great again (Prône, grappling Hook, light and Shadow, grab).

A bit late for sharing this but that's clearly the best vidéo Ubisoft released regarding AC Shadows marketing. Authentic, with Simon's incredible voice over 👌

Saw some people annoyed at the last major update in Balatro because it have AC cards style in it. People tend to forget that at the heart of this, there is genuine people that just want to do something fun. Nobody get paid in those collabs, just 2 games that meet and say "let's do something cool"

Today is the reveal of the Story Trailer but most importantly all previews will lift their embargo. We'll see but hopefully all the hard work done after those 2 delay will pay off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHaN...

You try to slowly rebuild the company and brand trust by making the best game you can until someone does the worst marketing move possible. Every dev at Ubi despise NFT, only top management thinks it's THE future...

Big François Hollande vibe here, a center-left guy that was elected as the real alternative but that will mostly do the same shit as before with a subtle left flavour.

Had the chance to play a demo some times ago and it was incredible in a lot of ways. Cannot wait to see the full game. Good luck on the final push !

The previous tweet reminds me that it's officially 4 years since Immortals Fenyx Rising was released. It may not be an all-timer but for the people who played it, it generally stays in mind as something different from what Ubisoft was producing at the time.
For us devs, it was really a fun ride.

Fun fact : the colour for bad guys was purple until very far in development when they switch to red for various reasons. That's why most concept art shows purple enemies in this Artbook.
Birthday with an artbook, Immortals Fenyx Rising is 4 years old!

Marketing for Shadows is back ! Can't wait to share what I've worked on for the past years.
Naoe and Yasuke will be able to go prone for additional stealth tactics in #AssassinsCreed Shadows:

🔴 Reduce visibility to enemy even further on every surface
🔴 Can use to crawl under openings
🔴 While prone, Naoe can roll to the side, front or back and assassinate

AC Shadows was supposed to be out yesterday. It was a good call, would have been a very different weeks otherwise.

In less than a month, It'll be the 4th anniversary of Immortals Fenyx Rising. To celebrate, I'll make a thread to share info and fun facts about that completly bizarre production that you don't see often in big companies.

"The stories we tell, the characters we create and the game worlds we build are instrumentalised by those who seek to silence creativity, to stoke fear and incite hatred. "

Damn fine speech.
"The current climate is tough on our creative teams. They face lies, half truths and personal attacks online. When the work they pour their hearts into is twisted into a symbol of division, it's not just disheartening, it can be devastating."

A lot of people talk about the Ubisoft NFT game that just came out today. Just a reminder that every developper in the company that knew what NFT was told them it was a bad idea.
Guess who was right ?
