Ubisoft is making this game with streamers in mind

Breslau adds, as a reply to his previous tweet, that Ubisoft is building this game with streamers in mind. This game will have a full partnership with Twitch. Ubisoft will integrate Twitch into the game in levels that they claim have never been seen before with a big game. Twitch chat will be able to impact the game live with game-changing events, among other things.

He also says in the tweet that the ones watching the stream will have the possibility of winning Twitch drops and the streamers will earn their revenue from bits purchases.
