Ubisoft, the French gaming company behind "Assassin's Creed," acknowledged a recent report that it may be sold off, saying it "regularly reviews all its strategic options" in a statement Monday. The statement comes a few days after Bloomberg reported Chinese tech company Tencent was considering buying Ubisoft.

France’s largest video gaming firm, which has long been seen as a takeover target, declined to comment on Tencent’s reported buyout interest.

It was recently reported that the Guillemot family and Tencent may be preparing a collaborative buyout to take the company private.
