Ubisoft Picks Up Freestyle Games From Activision

The Studio was formed in 2002 and has made multiple rhythm-based games with Guitar and DJ peripherals.

After their last game didn’t do as well as they expected, Activision decided to sell it to Ubisoft. Activision believed that FreeStyle Games can be a great asset to the Ubisoft.

In Ubisoft’s blog, Pauline Langourieux, current Managing Director of Ubisoft Leamington, wants to be more hands-on with productions within the studio. With that news, there will have to be someone to step-up, that’s where Richard Blenkinsop comes in.

Richard has over 17 years of experience in the gaming industry as a producer, senior producer, and executive producer. He has worked on many games like Blur, Call of Duty 3, The Division, The Crew and more. He joined Reflections in 2012, which is one of the biggest studios within Ubisoft, and has then moved up from Associate Managing Director to Managing Director.

With all his experience serving as Managing Director for Ubisoft Reflection and now Ubisoft Leamington, it will bring them new forms of game development..
