Ubisoft opens two new studios – in Odessa and Mumbai
On March 22, the French developer and publisher Ubisoft announced the opening of two new divisions. One will appear in Ukraine, and the second in India. Both will be engaged in the creation of AAA projects.
Ubisoft already has offices in these countries. It’s about the Kiev studio and the one that is located in the city of Pune. According to the company, “the new studios will strengthen its position in these regions and will contribute to the development of the video game industry in Ukraine and India.”
