We built some of our most meaningful work here, and we’re excited to continue developing March of Giants from within Ubisoft. This game has enormous potential, and I know Ubisoft can help us take it to the next level."
Senior Production Leader Alexandre Parizeau stated, "My thanks go to Amazon for their commitment during the first chapters of March of Giants. Our closed alpha was an important milestone and showed a glimpse of the game’s real promise. Now, by joining Ubisoft, we’re uniting behind a shared vision to build March of Giants into one of the next great, enduring MOBAs."
Twitch and Games at Amazon VP of Audio Steve Boom added, "We're proud of what our team in Montreal has built with March of Giants. We're confident that under Ubisoft’s leadership, the talented developers in Montreal will continue to thrive and create amazing game experiences."
