Ubisoft’s biggest games — Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six — will be split off into a separate entity with a €1.16 billion ($1.3 billion) investment from Chinese tech giant Tencent, the company announced on Thursday.

The new subsidiary will include every Ubisoft team currently working on those three franchises in Montréal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona, and Sofia, according to the news release. There will be a “dedicated leadership team, supervised by a board of directors” overseeing the unit as it focuses on “nurturing the development” of Ubisoft’s most high-profile games.

Ubisoft says the unit will “drive further increases in quality of narrative solo experiences, expand multiplayer offerings with increased frequency of content releases, introduce free-to-play touchpoints, and integrate more social features,“ for its games.

Tencent’s investment will give it a 25% stake in the new unit and is expected to go through by the end of the year.

Ubisoft has faced financial troubles over the last few years, and according to today’s news release, the company will use the Tencent investment to pay off some of its debts and support other franchises. According to IGN, an investor in the company earlier this month claimed Ubisoft had been holding secret talks with major publishers like Microsoft and Electronic Arts about acquiring its major franchises.

Ubisoft’s new unit notably leaves out several other franchises it has, including Just Dance, Rayman, Rabbids, and Watch Dogs. The news release specifically mentions that Ghost Recon and The Division — the other Tom Clancy games — will be part of its new focus on “nurturing the development of iconic franchises” alongside the creation of the subsidiary.
