A new report claims that Ubisoft and Tencent are currently considering a new venture that could result in Ubisoft being broken apart.

Ubisoft and Tencent are said to be "evaluating which assets to include" in a potential new venture. A new report may contain fresh clues about the apparent partnership between Ubisoft and Tencent, Ubisoft's fortunes continue to slide and the company looks for a way forward.

A new report from Bloomberg reveals that the Guillemot family and Tencent may currently be in talks to move select Ubisoft assets over to a brand-new venture (thanks, VGC ).

Tencent and Ubisoft’s founding Guillemot family are considering the creation of a new venture containing some Ubisoft assets, it’s claimed.

There’s a curious new report on what the Guillemots and Tencent are planning to do with Ubisoft. As reported on Bloomberg, the Guillemots may look to launch a new joint venture with Ubisoft’s biggest external investor. Ubisoft will then divest some of the company’s properties and bring it on to the new company.

Barclays (LON: BARC) analysts suggested in a note that the development might signal increased value for Ubisoft's holdings, though many questions remain unanswered. "This is not a take-out but it could imply more value for Ubisoft's assets," said the bank.
