Assassin’s Creed creator Ubisoft is reportedly being researched by private equity firms with “initial acquisition interest.”
Several companies, including Blackstone Inc. and KKR & Co., the world’s largest private equity firm, are considering acquisitions, anonymous sources told Bloomberg.
Ubisoft has reportedly not been in serious talks with these companies, and it’s unclear if it will, or if the companies will seek an acquisition.

When the deal closes, Xbox’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard will be one of the largest in entertainment history, joining Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox and just shy of AT&T’s $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner.
Sony, on the other hand, acquired Bungie in February, adding it to the list of six other studios it has acquired since last year.
