Ubisoft is going to significantly increase the number of people it has working on the already-massive Assassin’s Creed franchise, the company said as part of its latest earnings report on Tuesday. The company is upping its investment in the series because it sees a big opportunity for growth.
“As part of our increased strategic focus on our biggest growth opportunities and progressive reallocation of resources, Ubisoft will notably increase the number of talents working on the Assassin’s Creed franchise by 40 percent over the coming years to fuel its ambitious expansion,” the company wrote in a press release. Currently, the company has “around” 2,000 people working on the franchise, CEO Yves Guillemot said on an earnings call.
