Although Ubisoft started in France, the development of 3A masterpieces such as Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed is increasingly concentrated in Quebec, Canada. Recently Ubisoft announced that they will continue to increase investment in Quebec. Ubisoft plans to invest US$950 million in Quebec, including the establishment of a new studio in Sherbrooke, which will be led by Nathalie Jasmin. She has served as a senior producer for games such as Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and Rainbow Six: Siege.
It is not clear which game Sherbrooke Studios will work on, but Sherbrooke is located between Montreal and Quebec City, so it may participate in the development of new titles in the Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry series. It is rumored that Ubisoft’s goal is to transform these two series of games into online service games like Destiny.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that this will be another milestone in Ubisoft’s development in Quebec. Ubisoft has been in Quebec for nearly 25 years and is always at the forefront of the industry’s technological revolution. Nearly 5,000 of Ubisoft’s 20,000 employees work in Montreal, Quebec City, Piedmont and Saguenay. Ubisoft is fulfilling its commitment to establish a studio in Sherbrooke and will continue to invest in talents and surrounding ecosystems.
