Ubisoft Acquires March of Giants

Mergers and Acquisitions

15 December 2025 17:25

Ubisoft has announced that it has acquired the upcoming multiplayer online battle arena game March of Giants. Along with the game, Ubisoft is also bringing in the Montreal-based development team that has been working on the project. The team was previously owned by Amazon Game Studios. The financial details of the deal were not shared.

The acquisition comes after Amazon made major cuts to its game publishing division as part of a wider reduction in staff across the company.

March of Giants is being led by several well-known developers with past ties to Ubisoft. Creative Director Xavier Marquis previously worked as the original Creative Director on Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. Senior Production Leader Alexandre Parizeau was once the Managing Director of Ubisoft Toronto. The team will now work within one of Ubisoft’s Creative Houses, though the company has not said which one.

This move is part of Ubisoft’s ongoing company reorganization. That reorganization includes the creation of Vantage Studios, a Tencent-backed subsidiary that now oversees major franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six, and Far Cry.

The game was first revealed in September and has recently finished a closed alpha test. In its announcement, Ubisoft shared that the team is “currently preparing the next large-scale update, which will introduce new giants, expanded competitive modes, and foundational systems designed to support long-term growth.” As part of the agreement, Amazon will also help market March of Giants on Twitch.

“March of Giants has a real opportunity to bring something fresh and dynamic to players, and to help Ubisoft compete in one of gaming’s biggest arenas,” said Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO, in a press release. “We’re looking forward to welcoming back Alexandre, Xavier, and many of the seasoned March of Giants team who have previously worked at Ubisoft, and the entire team’s ambition, creativity and talent align perfectly with our desire to build bold new experiences for players. We look forward to supporting them as they shape the future of this promising new IP.”
