It’s hard to ignore the success of Ubisoft. Eleven years ago
near the launch of the Xbox, they were the house-that-Rayman built. A French
company, founded in 1986 by the five Guillemot brothers, Ubisoft has risen
rapidly in the last decade certainly as a publisher but especially as a
developer.
It’s clearest how far Ubisoft has risen when the last two
years in particular are reflected upon. Ubisoft stole the 2012 E3 with Watch
Dogs. A game that they had managed to keep under wraps until it was revealed
to an awestruck crowd. The following year, this past June, Ubisoft wowed the
audience with The Division, The Crew, and returning favorites Assassin’s Creed,
Watch Dogs, and Splinter Cell.
