In other news, as Microsoft’s acquisition deal of Activision Blizzard nears its conclusion, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot shared his thoughts on the same at the latest earnings’ call. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Guillemot said:

“I think it’s good news that the transaction can go through because it’s really showing the power of IPs and where the industry is going. So, there will be lots of opportunities too in the future for all the companies. And It’s also showing the value of IPs that can now be on console and PC, but also mobile, and become more worldwide brands, and when we say worldwide it’s really everywhere in the world, and that’s a fantastic opportunity. And Microsoft is saying that the mobile part of the Activision deal is important. So, all the investment we are making to be stronger on mobile are also in line with that, and all those elements will help the value of the company to grow.”
