After years of fruitful partnership, Ubisoft is thrilled to be incorporating the studio's knowledge into its worldwide network of talents. The 100-team affiliates who work at the studio have established a renowned know-how in driving, building MMOs and creating games with strong online games services, all of which will be colossal benefits for Ubisoft as a whole.
Managing Director Ahmed Boukhelifa of Ivory Tower is thrilled about the latest move. The studio have always appreciated a positive connection with Ubisoft.
