PANews reported on December 8 that according to Reuters, the acquisition negotiations of Ubisoft are still continuing, and the Guillemot family, the owner of Ubisoft, is still discussing the acquisition of the company with Tencent and other investors. Tencent is still hesitant about whether to increase its stake in the company, but Tencent's negotiations are designed to prevent "any potential hostile takeover of Ubisoft by other investors." Earlier news said that Ubisoft intends to be privatized after being acquired by Tencent. Tencent is Ubisoft's second largest shareholder, holding 10% of the shares. Tencent currently refuses to comment on the matter.
