Ubisoft and Hasbro today announced a new partnership that will allow the
Assassin's Creed publisher to develop and publish current- and
next-generation games based on board game franchises like Monopoly,
Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Risk, Battleship, and Cranium.
"We look forward to collaborating with Ubisoft to offer consumers
innovative new ways to experience their favorite gaming brands," Hasbro
SVP and GM of digital gaming and corporate development Mark Blecher said
in a statement.
Ubisoft SVP of sales and marketing Tony Key added that the French
publisher is "thrilled" to have the opportunity to create console games
based on the company's brands.
Ubisoft did not announce any new Hasbro games today.
Ubisoft is not the only rights-holder for Hasbro games. Electronic Arts last month announced
a new four-year partnership with the company for mobile games, while
Activision continues to hold the rights for the Transformers series.
