It’s always an intriguing moment when big names in gaming find themselves at the center of speculation. Recently, Ubisoft has found itself in such a position following reports of a potential agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Savvy Games Group regarding Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
A report from French newspaper Les Echoes suggested that Ubisoft is working closely with the Savvy Games Group, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), to develop new content for this year’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The idea of getting fresh material for a series many gamers cherish sounds promising.
However, Ubisoft has opted to keep things somewhat vague. In an official statement provided to Eurogamer, a spokesperson declined to either confirm or deny the existence of any deal. Instead, they focused on completing their upcoming title, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which is set for release on March 20.
This response might raise eyebrows among fans eagerly awaiting updates on their favorite games while also wondering how companies manage relationships with external investors. Ubisoft faces challenges as it explores “company options” amid declining value over recent years. There have been discussions about possible collaborations with Chinese company Tencent concerning Ubisoft’s assets, indicating that these are uncertain times.
The company’s Q3 FY2025 earnings report is scheduled for February 13, where we might receive more insight into its current situation and plans. During that call, players will be keenly watching to see if any news arises regarding partnerships or new projects.
