Ubisoft Film & Television, previously known as Ubisoft Motion Pictures, operates as a film and television production branch of the video game publisher Ubisoft. Headquartered in both Montreuil and Los Angeles, this French-American subsidiary was established in 2011 to create content inspired by Ubisoft’s gaming properties and the broader gaming culture.

History

Originating in 2011 under the name Ubisoft Motion Pictures, the company’s mission was to adapt Ubisoft’s interactive intellectual properties into cinematic and televised formats. One of its initial major undertakings was the 2016 feature film Assassin's Creed, featuring performances by Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. Additionally, Ubisoft introduced its inaugural television series, the children’s animated show Rabbids Invasion, which debuted in 2013 on Nickelodeon and France 3. This series enjoyed multiple seasons and eventually became available worldwide through streaming on Netflix.

Building on the success of Rabbids Invasion, Ubisoft collaborated with the French theme park Futuroscope to launch the Raving Rabbids-themed attraction titled The Time Machine in 2013. This attraction garnered recognition by winning a Themed Entertainment Association Award for "Outstanding Achievement" in 2014.

Beyond Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft Film & Television is actively developing several feature films for Netflix, including an adaptation of Tom Clancy's The Division with notable talents like David Leitch directing, alongside actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain. Other projects in production are based on the Just Dance, Rabbids, and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchises.

The studio has also broadened its television slate with multiple animated series announced in 2019 and introduced its first live-action show, Mythic Quest, on Apple TV+. This original program, unrelated to any Ubisoft game, stars an ensemble cast led by Rob McElhenney and Charlotte Nicdao, and has been renewed for a second season.

In June 2021 during Netflix’s Geeked Week event, several Ubisoft-based animated series were acquired by Netflix. These include Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix created by Adi Shankar, as well as adaptations of the Splinter Cell and Far Cry franchises.
