Ubisoft has confirmed the official launch of its subsidiary. It will indeed be called Vantage Studios.
"Vantage Studios will be responsible for the development and expansion of these brands, drawing on Ubisoft's experience and expertise, sharing services and technical resources, while giving developers more direct control over the games they create.
The goal of Vantage Studios, and future creative houses, is to facilitate stronger and deeper connections between developers and players. This simplified approach allows developers to benefit from greater autonomy and shorten the time between gathering and implementing player feedback, while benefiting from Ubisoft's expertise, services, tools, and technology."
