Ubisoft’s Post

Share the word!

to be fair, need to pause here for a moment to look to from a different angle to this Ubisoft piece of news. As it seem that Ubisoft (about ~30 office around the world with roughly around 20,000 employee) tried very hard to not cut positions or fire anyone during 2 of the roughest years in game industry! Where very well established companies like Meta, Google, Unity, Amazon, Epic Game, Microsoft, EA, Riot, NetEase, Roblox, Sony,...etc. that are not suffering any financial issues, game release issue, or abuse allegations, at the other hand they have good profit & were doing acquisations, but they were firing folks in hundreds and open new positions for hire next day! But Ubisoft seemed tried hard to not use that card & keep trying to collect itself. Yes it eventually used that nasty card, but at least they were not one of the first top 10 companies to do that! not even close! If this tells something, it tells that ubisoft is trying hard, and it "may" comeback again one day! It is still sad news, and all support to the impacted talented colleague & friends, and good luck in getting better positions soon. https://lnkd.in/gUiWZ6im #gameindustry #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gaming

Big congrats to the hundreds of talents who worked on #AvatarFrontiersOfPandora, that we release today! With this game, we wanted to show that titles based on famous movies IPs could be far more than their usual reputation of opportunistic digital merchandising. I had the privilege along with 4 other colleagues from our Project Closing team to help Massive Entertainment - A Ubisoft Studio for a while to ship this game. Many learnings, like: 1) How to collaborate with franchise owner Lightstorm Entertainment & James Cameron to not only adapt but co-craft with minutia a worthwhile expansion of the movies 2) Central role of technology to materialize such an ambitious vision for world-building. First reviews and players impressions are out, and they are unanimous about this product becoming a new visual benchmark, our studios' success to create new regions of Pandora that are believeable, and an immersive experience full of "wow" moments that is truly complementing the movies. Kudos to all the codev studios as well, Ubisoft Blue Byte GmbH, Ubisoft Romania, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Ukraine Studios, Ubisoft Leamington and all the other teams at Ubisoft who contributed, as well as Lightstorm Entertainment, The Walt Disney Company, Fox Corporation. #gaming #games #tech #avatar #ubisoft #disney

Ubisoft Netherlands' social media channels posted AI-generated versions of Assassin’s Creed characters, resulting in some amusing and questionable outcomes. Fans noticed a peculiar, off-brand version of Ezio on Ubisoft's Latin America Twitter account, which was soon deleted after receiving mockery for resembling a Fortnite character and featuring strange weapon choices. This AI art experiment sparked mixed reactions, especially given Ubisoft's recent layoffs and cost-cutting measures. Some critics found it astonishing that the company was investing in AI-generated art while letting go of employees. With tools like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney, companies are taking advantage of AI to create images and promote various projects. However, this approach has its share of critics who view it as a departure from genuine artistic expression. #AssassinsCreed #Ubisoft #VideoGames #GamingCommunity #GamerLife #GameReviews #ACFans

Saturday marked my 4 year Ubisoft Anniversary. This is my first year on a production team. I continue to take small steps towards my dream of one day of producing my own game title, or managing a game studio. As always, I want to thank all my colleagues and teammates who play a critical role in my continued motivation, success and joy at Ubisoft. Here is my list of reading for people who share my ambitions in the game industry. My library is full of books like these, but these are my foundational readings to my management style in gaming. 1- The Dream Architects: Adventures in the Video Game Industry, David Polfeldt 2- Make Space: How to Set the Stage for Creative Collaboration, Scott Doorley and Scott Witthoft 3- Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition): Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration, Ed Catmull 4- Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo, Reggie Fils-Aimé 5- The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Robert Iger 6- The Imagineering Process: Using the Disney Theme Park Design Process to Bring Your Creative Ideas to Life, Louis J Prosperi, Jason Surrell and Bob McLain #ubisoft #ubiversary #books #workanniversary

Hey all, Just wanted to let you know that I participated in the Ubisoft Next 2024 programming competition. Hosted by Ubisoft Toronto. For this competition I had to use the framework that was provided by Ubisoft which was a C++ 2d framework. The theme was released 3 days prior to the deadline, however I was already somewhat famaliar (less than I should have lol) with the framework as it was released a month before. I might make the github open source once the compitition results are fully over, but I will let you know then. Check out the game here if you want to play it https://lnkd.in/eBNDvwgG #cpp #ubisoft #ubisoftnext #2d #gamedevelopment #gameprogramming
