Tencent is already Ubisoft&#8217;s second-largest shareholder, but is restricted in how much influence it has over the company, which remains firmly under the control of the Guillemot family.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie is not one of the five Guillemot brothers who founded Ubisoft\u2014Christian, Claude, Gerard, Michel, and Yves\u2014but rather the son of Yves, Ubisoft&#8217;s longtime CEO. Here&#8217;s what Ubisoft says Charlie brings to table, aside from being a nepo baby:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Charlie Guillemot has built a hybrid career at the intersection of management and innovation. He brings an entrepreneurial perspective and a sharp understanding of evolving industry dynamics and players\u2019 expectations, shaped by his experience in game development. With a strong product mindset, deep tech culture, and a passion for games, he represents a new generation of leadership focused on innovation, quality, and putting players at the centre of decision-making.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The press release doesn&#8217;t mention any specific games Charlie has worked on previously, but he does have at least one credit to his name: <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/person\/1106187\/charlie-guillemot\/credits\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mobygames<\/a> lists his as studio manager and creative director on Tom Clancy&#8217;s Elite Squad, a mobile shooter best remembered for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/ubisoft-apologizes-for-using-a-raised-fist-to-represent-villains-in-a-mobile-game\/\">forcing an apology from Ubisoft<\/a> over its &#8220;insensitive and harmful&#8221; use of imagery related to historically important movements including Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n<p>Ubisoft <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/tom-clancys-elite-squad-the-mobile-game-that-co-opted-blm-imagery-is-closing\/\">pulled the plug on Elite Squad<\/a> in July 2021, less than a year after it launched; Charlie Guillemot had resigned from Ubisoft&#8217;s Owlient studio, the game&#8217;s developer, a couple months prior to that announcement. After leaving Ubisoft, he co-founded <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unagi.games\/\" target=\"_blank\">Unagi<\/a>, a Web3 gaming, AI, and NFT company. And now he&#8217;s in charge of Ubisoft&#8217;s biggest properties.<\/p>\n<p>Not alone, to be clear, and I don&#8217;t mean to sell Christophe Derennes short in any way. Derennes has been with Ubisoft for more than 35 years, &#8220;launched and led&#8221; Ubisoft Montreal, served as managing director of Ubisoft&#8217;s operations in North America, and has <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/person\/30506\/christophe-derennes\/credits\/\" target=\"_blank\">credits on dozens of Ubisoft games<\/a>. He&#8217;s clearly an experienced hand and has a long history with the games being taken over by this new entity.<\/p>\n<p>That could lead one to wonder: <em>Why does he need Charlie as co-CEO?<\/em> It&#8217;s possible that Ubisoft hopes the injection of (relatively) young blood with fresh perspectives will counterbalance any potential &#8220;stuck in his ways&#8221; approach of a guy who&#8217;s been around for decades\u2014a Chico Gonzalez to Derenne&#8217;s Dirty Harry Callahan, if you will.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Ubisoft said as much in today&#8217;s announcement: &#8220;Returning to Ubisoft in 2025 to join its internal transformation committee, Charlie has brought a fresh perspective, in-depth knowledge of the industry and a commitment to combining innovation with a player-first mindset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, that might be it. Might be something else, too. His name just has a certain <em>je ne sais quoi<\/em> to it, doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason for the pairing, Guillemot and Derennes &#8220;will lead the subsidiary in building evergreen, multi-platform game ecosystems and writing the next chapter of Ubisoft\u2019s renowned franchises,&#8221; Ubisoft said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Backed by growing investments and Tencent\u2019s expertise as a core strategic partner, it will give development teams greater autonomy and agility to fully unlock the potential of these iconic games, while shaping the next generation of player experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tencent&#8217;s investment in the new Ubisoft subsidiary is expected to be concluded by the end of 2025, but remains subject to regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"ae796216-afd2-42b5-95e8-54a514cc1f6b\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/after-leaving-ubisoft-to-launch-an-anime-avatar-ai-nft-startup-yves-guillemots-son-returns-to-take-charge-of-its-new-tencent-backed-assassins-creed-far-cry-and-rainbow-6-subsidiary.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"ae796216-afd2-42b5-95e8-54a514cc1f6b\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/after-leaving-ubisoft-to-launch-an-anime-avatar-ai-nft-startup-yves-guillemots-son-returns-to-take-charge-of-its-new-tencent-backed-assassins-creed-far-cry-and-rainbow-6-subsidiary\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Ubisoft and Tencent announced the creation of a new company that will take control of Ubi&#8217;s Big Three\u2014Assassin&#8217;s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six\u2014the obvious question, for me at least, was, who&#8217;s really going to be in charge here?
