Ubisoft, the world’s leading game publisher with Far Cry, Assassin Creed and Watch Dogs brands, officially opened the game design studio in Da Nang City on June 8. This information has just been posted on the home page of the publisher of this game.

Accordingly, Ubisoft’s new studio in Vietnam will focus on the development of “instant games” (instant games) and mobile games in HTML5 format. For games in this format, gamers will not need to download the game. Instead, they can immediately experience HTML5 games right on the Internet browser of the PC or phone.

It is expected that Ubisoft Da Nang will develop about 10 HTML5 game projects each year, with the first game likely to be released in September 2021.

According to the information posted by Ubisoft on the homepage, the studio located in Da Nang currently has about 32 employees, most of whom are Vietnamese. The studio will be managed by Mr. Aurélien Palasse, who previously served as head of game publishing at Ubisoft’s Shanghai, China branch. It is expected that Ubisoft Da Nang will continue to recruit to reach a maximum size of 100 employees in the near future, in order to realize the goal of focusing on developing 3 game projects at the same time.

It is known that due to the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic, Ubisoft Da Nang also encountered some difficulties in the process of opening a studio in Vietnam. Specifically, the renovation and repair of the studio office was delayed, while the installation of equipment such as workstations was also delayed because the factory in China was closed.

In particular, some of Ubisoft’s key foreign personnel were also unable to enter Vietnam due to travel restrictions because of the government’s COVID-19 epidemic. Meanwhile, the process of contacting and recruiting personnel who are students of leading universities in Vietnam also encountered some obstacles, when universities temporarily let students stay home because of the epidemic.
