==History==

Ubi Soft Entertainment was founded in 1986 by the five Guillemot brothers, who expanded their business into video game publishing after managing a computer mail-order sales company for two years.

After moderate success in that area, Ubisoft's first major hit was [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] in 1995, released at a time when French games were not as popular as those from Japan and the USA, with the game helping the company become more well-known worldwide. In the following years, Ubisoft expanded its reach with more studios in Annecy, Shanghai, Montreal, and Milan, between 1996 and 1998.

Ever since the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] was created, even more iconic Ubisoft franchises were started, such as ''Assassin's Creed'', ''Far Cry'', ''Rainbow Six'', ''Splinter Cell'', ''Just Dance'', and the [[Rabbids (series)|''Rabbids'' series]], the last of which began with the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'']] spin-off ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''.

==30th anniversary==
