Since its release in December 2014, The Crew acquired 3 million players globally. This is why Ubisoft has brought in Ivory Tower’s 100 team members to join the Ubisoft team. On Ubisoft’s blog they said the team at Ivory Tower has “developed a recognized expertise in driving, building massive open worlds and creating games with strong online and ‘games as a service’ components, all of which will be huge benefits for Ubisoft as a whole”.
“We’ve always enjoyed a very positive relationship with Ubisoft. Working together on The Crew, and celebrating its success, made us both understand that we have huge potential in continuing to work together in the future. By joining Ubisoft, the team at Ivory Tower will continue to benefit from Ubisoft’s infrastructure, support, tools, technology and vision. In return, we will contribute our own expertise to the broader Ubisoft story.”
– Ahmed Boukhelifa, Managing Director, Ivory Tower
