Ubisoft adds another team in Canada as it acquires developer Longtail Halifax

Ubisoft’s Canadian footprint continues to grow.

The French publisher revealed today that it has acquired Rocksmith 2014 co-developer Longtail Stuidios. The game maker will now operate as Ubiosft Halifax and will work in partnership with the publisher’s worldwide network of studios. While Ubisoft is well known for using multiple teams around the globe to help build single, gigantic triple-A games, it isn’t necessarily bringing in Longtail to work on the new Assassin’s Creed. Instead, this latest acquisition is about expanding Ubisoft’s exposure to the mobile game market.
