Ubisoft Establishes Vantage Studios to Direct Three Major Series
This established what is to come for the company's and the Assassins' Creed game installations. Ubisoft has announced the new venture of Vantage Studios, a "creative house" intended now to become homes for the company's three major franchises: Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. This is heralding a major organizational change at Ubisoft.
What does Vantage Studios include?
For Charlie Guillemot and Christophe Derennes, co-CEOs, the new game comprises a global team now focused on building all three critical brands. Whereas utilizing common technology and resources within Ubisoft, this new structure gives development teams more direct control over the game they create.
An All-New Strategy With Autonomy and Player Feedback
Organizational purposes of Vantage Studios include streamlining efficiency and bullet-proofing the tie between developer and player.
The main objectives of this new model are as follows:
- Give autonomy to the development teams as far as possible.
- Simplify the path in terms of time to acquire player feedback and to transform player feedback.
- Create a stronger tie between the developer and the player community.
In the future, there will be more of these creative houses, focused on gathering even more franchises under the same "roof" but with different development expertise.
A Team of Global Talented Developers
Vantage Studios is composed of thousands of experienced developers from Ubisoft's studios in Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona, and Sofia-more than enough to work on some of the great titles of the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six series.
