A French multinational video game publisher and developer, known for franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy series. It's one of the largest gaming companies globally.
Founded in 1986 by the Guillemot brothers, combining 'Ubi' (meaning 'everywhere' in Latin) and 'soft' (from software). The name reflects their ambition to create games available everywhere, emphasizing global reach and accessibility.
Ubisoft was among the first major publishers to embrace open-world game design, with their 'Ubisoft formula' of towers, collectibles, and map icons becoming so recognizable it's both praised and parodied in gaming culture. They've consistently pushed technological boundaries, from early 3D graphics to modern virtual reality.
