In this regard, Yves Guillemot, director of Ubisoft, highlighted the actions they have taken to deal with this crisis: “although last year was a challenge for the industry and for Ubisoft, it was fundamental for the company as we reinforced our strategic focus on our biggest opportunities, we initiated a significant cost reduction plan and provided additional development time for our strong portfolio of content.”
