Ubisoft Annecy

About

Ubisoft Annecy was established in 1996, and it now welcomes a dynamic, international team, with 20% of its workforce coming from abroad.

The studio developed its online and multiplayer expertise among different games, especially on the Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell® franchise. The studio was then trusted to develop The Assassin’s Creed® brand multiplayer before setting the bar even higher with Assassin’s Creed® IV Black Flag®. Ubisoft Annecy collaborated on Assassin’s Creed® Unity and Assassin’s Creed® Syndicate while contributing to the shipping of The Crew®.

More recently, the team collaborated with Massive Entertainment on Tom Clancy’s The Division® and continues its involvement in the game, which has reached more than 40 million players worldwide. Simultaneously, the teams also worked on Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Wildlands in association with Ubisoft Paris.

As an invaluable partner studio, Ubisoft Annecy led its own project with Steep®, in collaboration with Ubisoft Kiev, Ubisoft Belgrade, Ubisoft Montpellier, and Ubisoft Pune. The team worked in partnership with the International Olympic Committee on the extension Road to the Olympics, released in December 2017, and with the X GAMES organization for the latest DLC released in October 2018.

In 2019, Steep® reached a community of almost 15 million players and Ubisoft Annecy continued its collaboration with Massive Entertainment to release Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2. 2020 was a big year for the studio with the announcement of its second original creation Riders Republic®: from snow-capped mountains to barren canyons, players will be able to freely explore a huge open world inspired by the famous American national parks. Riders Republic® features a mix of outdoor sports and action, including mass races with up to 50 players on next-generation consoles, as well as a wide variety of activities and tricks. This massive multiplayer playground will be available to all in 2021.
