Yes, all of those are working on it:
Ubisoft Montreal (Main team)
Ubisoft Annecy
Ubisoft Bucharest
Ubisoft Kiev
Ubisoft Montpellier
Ubisoft Quebec
Ubisoft Singapore
Ubisoft Sofia

My geography must be bad, I haven't heard of half of those Ubisoft branch locations.

I started reading this with a bad taste in my mouth (eww, annual releases), but it seems like this whole co-dev thing is a decent idea (and far lesser an evil than shit releases every year)

EDIT: For the geography:
Ubisoft Montreal (Main team) - Canada
Ubisoft Annecy - France
Ubisoft Bucharest - Romania
Ubisoft Kiev - Ukraine
Ubisoft Montpellier - France
Ubisoft Quebec - Canada
Ubisoft Singapore - Singapore
Ubisoft Sofia - Bulgaria
