    From the article …

    In a conference call, Ubisoft chief financial officer Frederick Duguet said the subsidiary’s board “will be controlled by Ubisoft, so Ubisoft will continue controlling and consolidating this entity.”

    I worked for Ubisoft for more than 10 years. This is the first encouraging news about the company I’ve read in a long time.

      The deal includes the teams working on the mentioned properties, but doesn’t go into what IPs are changing hands. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if all Tom Clancy series are lumped together
