**Tencent and Guillemot Family Eye Ubisoft Buyout**

Big news in the gaming world! Chinese tech giant Tencent and the Guillemot family are reportedly in talks to take Ubisoft private. This follows months of speculation after Ubisoft had to lower revenue expectations for its upcoming game, "Assassin’s Creed: Shadows."

- **Background**: Ubisoft is currently publicly traded, with major shareholders including its founders, the Guillemot family, and Tencent.

- **The Deal**: If successful, the buyout would make Ubisoft a private company, similar to Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition.

- **Market Reaction**: Ubisoft shares have surged over 30% amid these rumors, recovering from a significant drop over the past year.

- **Future Prospects**: This move could position Ubisoft and Tencent as leaders in the crypto and blockchain gaming space, joining other early adopters like Square-Enix and Pearl Abyss.
