Ubisoft French Worker Strike Over Return To Office Order Spreads To Italy


Strike action by Ubisoft staff in France over the company’s order that employees be in the office at least three days a week, has spread to Italy.

The dispute comes in an uncertain period for the Assassin’s Creed creator, following reports Chinese internet giant Tencent and majority owners, the Guillemot family, are exploring a joint buyout that would make the company private.
