Ubisoft filed trademarks for the name Motherbrain, the term the publisher uses internally for generative AI work around games. The filings were first reported by Stephen Totilo’s Game File and appear in public trademark records. Ubisoft has not made a public announcement of the name.
One filing describes downloadable software using AI to create video games and interactive content. Another covers research and development of AI software and AI-as-a-service for analyzing data and interacting with people. The name matches the antagonist intelligence in Nintendo’s Metroid series, written as one word on Ubisoft’s forms.
Ghostwriter and Teammates under one umbrella
Reports link Motherbrain to a grouping of already public projects. In 2023 Ubisoft showed Ghostwriter, a La Forge tool that drafts NPC barks. In 2025 it showed Teammates, a playable first-person prototype whose squadmates respond to live voice commands.
CEO Yves Guillemot has compared generative AI to the shift from 2D to 3D. The filings do not prove a finished commercial product or a ship date. They show how the company is naming and legally protecting this line of work.
What is not confirmed
There is no official Ubisoft statement using the word Motherbrain. There is no confirmation that the software in the filings is already in production on a specific title. Claims that AI will “create Ubisoft’s next games by itself” are press interpretation, not a company declaration.
