Yves Guillemot also speaks on Tencent deal, independence, NFTs.
“First, we want to ensure an inclusive, rewarding and respectful workplace for all.
Yes, we stumbled.
And we have acknowledged that.
“The goal is to do more business on mobile first,” Guillemot said.
“We started four years ago, and the games are coming along and they are very high quality.
We see that creating AAA games on mobile is quite, quite difficult to do.
So we are doing some of them internally.
But we are also working with partners likeTencentto create some as well.”
I asked Guillemot if Ubisoft’s independence was still as crucial now as it once was.
“Yes, it is,” Guillemot told me.
“Our first intention is to be able to own our destiny.
That’s why we invest in new technologies.
And I think we can do that”.
We are proud to announce that also we are opening to third-party now.
Ubisoft+ will have third-party and indie games on the platform.”
But we are still in the research mode, I would say."
Eurogamer met with Ubisoft at its Paris office this week, for which Ubisoft covered travel and accommodation.
