Ubisoft Enters Sports Arena
from SFChronicle
wednesday, march 2, 2005
Ubisoft Entertainment SA said Monday it plans to start developing
sports video games, a genre dominated by rival game publisher
Electronic Arts Inc. In an effort to target Electronic Arts' Tiger
Woods titles, Ubisoft has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with
Vijay Singh, the world's No. 1 ranked golfer, to produce a golf game
named after him.The French video game maker also said it has acquired
the sports-game assets from Microsoft Game Studios, including the
technology behind Microsoft's hockey, football, basketball and baseball
titles. The company's upcoming entrance into the sports game market was
in the works well before its larger rival became a major shareholder,
Ubisoft spokeswoman Jaime Borasi said. Redwood City-based Electronic
Arts, the world's largest video game publisher, bought an almost 20
percent stake in Ubisoft in December, fueling speculation of an
acquisition. Ubisoft officials say they intend to keep their options
open for now — from adopting a strategy to fend off a possible
hostile takeover to holding discussions with investors, including
Electronic Arts. Meanwhile, "there is still room for innovation in the
sports genre and Ubisoft has some great ideas that we're looking
forward to implementing," said Yves Guillemot, president and chief
executive officer of Ubisoft.
