In other Ubisoft news, the company finally managed to fend off a years-long hostile takeover attempt by French media conglomoerate Vivendi. On March 20th, Ubisoft announced that an agreement had been reached that resulted in Vivendi selling the entirety of its roughly 30.5 million shares in the video game developer.

Now, The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan owns a 3.4 percent stake in Ubisoft that was purchased for $306.5 million USD, while Chinese game giant Tencent controls a five percent stake in the French publisher.
