Yves Guillemot talked about his vision and strategy for gaming at the annual event this week.
The game industry will bring in $300 billion in revenues by the year 2030. Thanks to the democratization of games on mobile devices and other platforms, he expects gaming to reach five billion people.
I would be happy if it came true because I think Guillemot believes it. He is trying to get people to see that the investment is worth it. In order to get closer to the company, Tencent recently bought a 49.9% stake in Guillemot Brothers.
"Ubisoft will embrace a variety of business models and platforms, including subscription, free-to-play, premium, and cloud." The goal is to make games accessible to everyone. Web3 will grow as a way to reach new people through decentralization, and he believes that people will find games in virtual and physical worlds.

Games will surpass all other leisure industries in terms of impact. I think games are going to become the ultimate form of entertainment. It's most important.
There are games that enrich peoples lives. I am confident that the future of the industry is going to be shaped by the new chapter written by the company.
He said it would make gaming stronger in communities. He said that three upcoming mobile games will be published on the streaming service. The video series about the assassin's Creed is being developed for the internet service. This is an expansion beyond games, though one that is done with respect for the gaming property, and is referred to as a product by the company.
The strategy is to create powerful brands with the company's 21,000 employees and then bring those brands to even larger audiences. The number of game developers in the world is estimated by my calculation.
For the first time in history, the company's pillar brands generated more than 300 million euros, or $304 million. More than a billion dollars in revenue was reached by the movie. To hit $2 billion in revenue in five years, each of those brands needs to hit a certain number.
A variety of business models and distribution will be adopted by the company. Guillemot said that there would be a strong focus on mobile and that there had been a reputation of moving first onto new platforms. There are new mobile games for The Division.
We are always at the forefront of disruptive technologies.
He pointed to the upcoming pirate ship game Skull & Bones as a new franchise as well as the success of games with live operations. He believes that the i3D.net performance hosting infrastructure, which has 40 locations on six continents, will be helpful to companies that use it to deliver better services.
It will be possible to play cloud-enabled games, like Microsoft Flight Simulator.
You will be blown away by what we will do.
He said that there is easy access to a subscription for more than 100 games, and that it is available on a number of platforms. Third-party and independent games are going to be picked up by the company. The goal is to have 300 million active users by the year 2020.
When it was discovered that the company failed to restrain sexual harassment across the company, it wastumbled. In the last fiscal year, the company was able to hire more than 4,000 people and 600 of them were hired. The company's DNA is created by these people.
The chief portfolio officer of the company talked about the move to take its brands into media. She noted that the company has 35 brands. In more than 15 years, Assassin's Creed has had 13 titles and more than 200 million copies sold.
Each trilogy of games has a different period with the first focusing on single-player stories and the second on open world role-playing games.
Sales have doubled. The company is creating an eternal hub where players can choose which experience they want to have, whether that takes them into the past or into the future. The Animus DNA machine is similar to the hub in that you put it on your computer.
Code Red is a game set in feudal Japan where you play as a Shinobi. A new title is being developed by the same company. There is still another one. The game will be set in China.
In order to create games that have higher quality and are more sustainable, the company will invest the same budgets over a longer period of time.
