Here's a look at some screenshots that look like a very early stage of development:
Back in March 2025, Tencent, the Chinese multinational technology conglomerate, bought a 20% stake ($1.25 billion) in Ubisoft, giving rise to a new subsidiary that, as per Ubisoft, “focuses on building game ecosystems designed to become truly evergreen and multi-platform.”
From the looks of it, the Project Scout seems to be the first of many new IPs that are being developed with the new vision.
