History[]
On 30 June 2009, at the Interactive & Digital Entertainment Festival in Cannes, Ubisoft announced the creation of its own comic book publishing house. The name Les Deux Royaumes is French for 'The Two Thrones', a reference to Ubisoft's 2005 action-adventure video game Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Ubisoft partnered with other French publishers; Dargaud, Dupuis and Le Lombard for distribution and advice.[2]
The first comic, Assassin's Creed 1: Desmond, released on 13 November 2009. Written by Éric Corbeyran with art by Djilalli Defali.[2]
Les Deux Royaumes shut down in 2020 following the Ubisoft-Glénat partnership which transferred all the works to Glénat who will continue them.[2]
