About This Episode

In this episode of Buona la Prima, we discuss news that's shaking the gaming world: Tencent has invested €1.2 billion in a new company created by Ubisoft to manage its most iconic franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six.

But all that glitters is not gold. Rumor has it that Ubisoft is purposely dismantling itself, perhaps to declare bankruptcy, cancel debts, and free itself from obligations to its developers, many of whom have seen bonuses frozen in exchange for now-virtually worthless shares.

What's really going on?

👉 Is Ubisoft saving itself or selling off its soul?

👉 Is Tencent the savior or the shark smelling blood?

👉 And what does all this mean for fans and the future of the most beloved IPs?

🎙️ We're talking about it openly, without filters, in our usual style.
