Ubisoft published a 40-second video condensing its history into rapid-fire clips of franchises like Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six, and Just Dance. The video prominently features Rayman, who also gets a 30th Anniversary Edition release. The company is undergoing restructuring while launching new titles like Assassin's Creed Black Flag Re:Sync.
Ubisoft released a short video titled "40 Years in 40 Seconds" to mark its 40th anniversary. The clip cycles through key franchises including Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six, and Just Dance, with numerous Easter eggs for fans to find. A social media campaign encouraging fans to spot those Easter eggs is underway.
Rayman, Ubisoft's flagship character who turns 30 this year, gets prominent placement. A Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition launched for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch. Two special video programs are planned through autumn: "While You Were Playing," covering technological innovations, and "Behind the Screen," about development processes.
The anniversary comes as Ubisoft undergoes organizational restructuring. Claude Guillemot, the eldest Guillemot brother and chairman of Thrustmaster brand owner Guillemot Corporation, died in a plane crash on June 19. Upcoming releases include Assassin's Creed Black Flag Re:Sync for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
