Europe games industry on edge as 'Assassin's Creed' hits shelves

Quick Summary:

PARIS - Thursday's release of action-adventure epic "Assassin's Creed Shadows" marks a make-or-break moment not just for struggling French games heavyweight Ubisoft, but for the entire European gaming ecosystem.

Even before release of the hoped-for blockbuster, Ubisoft said it was "actively exploring various strategic and capitalistic options" for its future.

Early rumours suggested that could involve going private with help from Chinese tech giant Tencent, a major investor that holds 10% of Ubisoft.
