Ubisoft goes Mexican

Ubisoft‘s going South the border this time around as they announce the opening of their new business today in Mexico City, Mexico. “Opening an office in Mexico is a strategic decision for Ubisoft,” said said Olivier Ernst, Ubisoft’s general manager of operations in Canada and Latin America.

“The Mexican market shows more stability than before and we believe it provides an amazing opportunity for growth in video games. We look forward to showing off a selection of our most highly anticipated titles for the Holiday 2006 season in Mexico City.”

The new office opens up with a new core team that’ll help improve Ubisoft’s business relations and market shares in the area. It will be under the command of area manager Etienne-Charles Nobert, who in turn reports to señor Ernst.
