Ubisoft Opening Up Two New Studios
Ubisoft is opening up two new development studios to help with the company's "new AAA games for some of [its] biggest franchises."
One studio is in Bordeaux, France, and the other in Berlin, and between the two of them they should have 100 people working by the end of their first year.
According to gamesindustry.biz, Ubisoft Bordeaux will work with new games from Ubisoft's French studios (Just Dance, Steep, and Ghost Recon Wildlands), while Berlin assists with Ubisoft's two Blue Byte studios (Anno and The Settlers) in Dusseldorf and Mainz, Germany.

Our Take
We don't know in what manner these studios will help these new games, whether it be taking charge of a particular mode or service, and Ubisoft has also repeatedly said it wants to support titles longer after launch. So there should be plenty of work to go around.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
