==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 the ''[[Rayman 1|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]]'' creation, even more Ubisoft franchises were started, notably the Assassin's Creed, Just Dance and the ''[[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids series]]'', the last of which began with Rayman Spin-Off ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. | |||
