Earlier this year Ubisoft announced that they’ll be opening two new studios to help with AAA game development, and today they’ve given an update on Ubisoft Berlin, one of these new studios. Ubisoft Blue Byte announced that Ubisoft Berlin will begin operations in early 2018. The studio will begin by collaborating on the Far Cry series, and work on other AAA games in the future.
There was a tweet on the Ubisoft Berlin opening:
