Ubisoft responds to rumors about a possible acquisition of Tencent

Ubisoft is addressing rumors that Tencent is exploring the purchase of the French game publisher – though it’s not saying much yet. In a statement on Monday, Ubisoft said it is “constantly reviewing all its options for the benefit of its stakeholders and will inform the market when appropriate.”

One of the options Ubisoft is considering is taking the company private, according to the report Bloomberg. Tencent, which currently has a 10 percent stake in Ubisoft, also owns 49.9 percent of Guillemot Brothers Ltd. Ubisoft says it is currently focusing on open communication and live service games.
