Ubisoft, the French video game developer famous for its competitive titles such as 'Rainbow Six: Siege' and 'For Honor,' has announced the consolidation of its many esports teams into a single Ubisoft esports division. Previously, Ubisoft esports ventures were handled based on region and title, with the company heading over 60 different esports divisions. Ubisoft believes this consolidation will come with various improvements to the community and company alike.
Firstly, this unification allows for more collaboration between regions and titles, which can lead to hybrid tournaments, increased funding, and larger tournaments as a whole. In addition to this, Ubisoft can streamline its esports decision-making process, meaning it will not have trickle-down conversations where one division lags behind the company's vision. This means that the public esports events and community events from Ubisoft going forward will be much larger on the front end and much more streamlined on the back end.
