Newly reorganised, iconic gaming giant Ubisoft has restructured its esports branch into a single, dedicated global division, with François-Xavier Deniele at its head as Senior Director of Esports & Competitive Gaming.
And following the announcement, Mr. Deniele outlined some of the new division’s plans, saying that this new team will maximize broadcasting, content production and event planning, whilst also supporting game production teams and esports events and tournaments around the world.
He also said that “earlier integration of the esports team into our production processes will also help to ensure that our future games have the tools and features to support and engage with our competitive and esports communities at launch. Creating a multi-year plan, with competitive activities, tournaments, and leagues adapted to all, and a clear path from amateur to professional play that inspires and engages players across the world, is a major focus for us.”
