I wonder if they can even pull that off. Ubisoft is so rotten to the core they'd have to fire 90% of the people there. Probably not going to be doable due to worker protection laws in the West and government intervention in take overs.
Alternatively they might just buy the rights to the more valuable franchises and let Ubisoft itself wither and die.

They'll let the current ownership do that due to losses. They'll buy the husk of Ubisoft for its IPs and what brand worth it has left and to get a stronger foothold in Western entertainment markets. From there, they'll use in-house studios to build out the games with some French executives left to oversee general content direction, but it will likely go exactly as Smiggieballs outlined in his post.
Every game will have gacha mechanics and ultra-aggressive microtransactions like every Chinese product does as well.
You are saying that like Assassins Creed doesn't already have XP boosts in a single player game.
True, but it can always get worse.
It’s nice of them to preserve some of Ubisoft’s values like that.
Say what you want about Chinese communism, at least its an ethos!
Seriously though, I'd take this trade in a heartbeat. At least communists have a future, unlike troonists.
And at the very least it'll put market pressure on the remaining US studios to cut the woke crap out and put out reasonable products once more.

This is wishful thinking.
That's exactly what they did with Marvel Rivals, though.
