Ubisoft與騰訊新子公司計劃曝光 員工與投資者憂心未來

在 投資市場 方面，Ubisoft 股價自消息曝光後 暴跌19%。一位匿名投資者表示，市場對未知變數感到不安，尤其是騰訊的資金注入與新架構的影響仍不確定。另一位投資者則認為，若無進一步改革，此舉對Ubisoft的中長期發展影響有限。

至於 內部員工，多名受訪者透露，公司內部溝通 相當不足，僅有幾封全公司郵件傳達決策。他們懷疑 此交易可能因《刺客教條：暗影》初期反應良好而加速推進，但最終協議的具體時間點仍不清楚。

據Insider Gameing公開，從最新內部郵件來看，Ubisoft 似乎尚未制定清晰的未來計劃，這也是導致投資者和員工普遍擔憂的關鍵原因。

“Hello all –

By now you have seen the message from Yves about the decision to create a new subsidiary that encompasses the three biggest Ubisoft brands: Rainbow 6, Assassin’s Creed, and Far Cry. This new entity will remain part of the Ubisoft family and will continue to be operated by us, with Tencent being a minority shareholder. This important decision is a key turning point for us after the last few difficult years and is an opportunity for Ubisoft to rebuild stronger than ever.

What will this mean for us in Zone 1? Certainly, we can expect some major changes in terms of structure and organization, since these three brands compose a significant part of Zone 1’s population. For now, what we can say is that once the agreement is finalized and confirmed by legal authorities, our Quebec, Saguenay and Sherbrooke studios will move entirely to the new entity, while our Montreal project teams will be spread between the new entity and the current Ubisoft organization. Our studios in Toronto, Winnipeg, as well as Red Storm and Blue Mammoth, will continue evolving in the current organization.

It is still very early in the process and I know you must have many questions, but the short answer to the “what’s next” question is: we need to take the time to figure this out and the next months will be dedicated to determining the transition plan.

Step one was this announcement, where we shared the decision and kicked off the planning phase.

Step two will be from now until this summer, where we will work out how to support the new entity with the existing organization and determine what the new model looks like on both sides. There will be a variety of guided consultations and discussions over the next few months, and your leaders will be involved as we take this opportunity to set up Ubisoft and the new entity for success.

Step three will be the implementation of the new model, with a longer period to complete the transition. Of course, there are many things that have not been determined yet such as who and how we will manage the new entity, what will happen to the structure we have created around the Zone, what will be the impact on the studios, and more. While there are many things that will only be defined during the planning process over the next few months, I can assure you that Ubisoft will continue to be a world class creator of video games, and your great ideas and energy will always be a critical part of our success.

I’m sure you have many questions for which we have no answers yet. Your MDs have also been just recently briefed on this announcement, and like me, don’t have any more information than I do. However, as always, we will try to keep you updated on our progress as we go along and share the latest decisions as soon as we can. In the meantime, we are looking forward to this opportunity of rebuilding a new and stronger Ubisoft, and of maximizing the contributions of all our people.

Thank you for your patience and resilience: living through change is never simple, and this is a big (and important) one for us and for the future of Ubisoft. My ask to you is to keep focusing on what you do best and where you have the biggest impact: making great games that enrich the lives of our players. I’m thankful to be able to count on your cooperation as we move forward together.

Managing Director, Zone 1″

大家好，

相信大家現在已經看到了 Yves 發出的消息，宣布決定成立一個新的子公司，整合 Ubisoft 三大最具代表性的品牌：《Rainbow Six》、《Assassin’s Creed》和《Far Cry》。這個新實體仍將隸屬於 Ubisoft 旗下，並將繼續由我們負責營運，而騰訊將成為少數股東。在過去幾年面臨挑戰後，這項重大決策將成為 Ubisoft 重建並變得更強大的關鍵轉折點。

對於我們 Zone 1 來說，這將意味著什麼呢？毫無疑問，從結構和組織上來看，我們將迎來重大變革，畢竟這三大品牌在 Zone 1 內部佔據了相當大比例。目前，我們可以確認的是，一旦協議獲得最終確認並通過法律機關批准，我們在魁北克、Saguenay 和 Sherbrooke 的工作室將完全併入新實體，而蒙特婁的專案團隊則將分別隸屬於新實體及現有的 Ubisoft 組織。至於我們在多倫多、溫尼伯，以及 Red Storm 和 Blue Mammoth 的工作室，則將繼續在現有組織內運營。

目前仍處於初期階段，我知道大家一定有許多疑問，但對於「接下來會發生什麼？」這個問題，簡單的回答是：我們需要時間來釐清，接下來幾個月將專注於制定過渡計劃。

第一步 是今天的公告，正式分享這項決策並啟動規劃階段。

第二步 將從現在持續到今年夏天，我們將致力於如何讓新實體與現有組織協同運作，並確定雙方的新模式。在這期間，我們將舉行一系列有指導性的磋商與討論，各位領導也將參與其中，確保 Ubisoft 與新實體都能順利邁向成功。

第三步 是新模式的實施，這將需要更長時間來完成整體過渡。當然，目前仍有許多細節尚未確定，例如新實體將如何管理、Zone 內部已建立的架構會受到怎樣的影響，以及這對各工作室的具體影響等。我們將在接下來的規劃階段逐步確定這些問題。但我可以向大家保證，Ubisoft 將繼續是世界級的遊戲創作者，而你們的創意與努力將始終是我們成功的關鍵。

我知道大家還有許多問題，目前即使是區域經理們剛剛才接到通知，他們目前掌握的資訊也與我相同。然而，正如以往一樣，我們將在過程中持續向大家更新進展，並在有最新決策時第一時間分享。與此同時，我們對這次機會充滿期待，希望能夠打造一個更強大的 Ubisoft，並充分發揮所有人的潛力與貢獻。

感謝大家的耐心與堅持——變革從來都不容易，而這對 Ubisoft 的未來來說是一個重大且重要的改變。我希望大家能夠繼續專注於自己最擅長的領域，發揮最大的影響力，打造出豐富玩家生活的優秀遊戲。我很感激能與大家攜手共進，邁向新的未來。
