At Ubisoft, the chair continues: another studio is closed, numerous employees are released.
Anyone who thought that in the new year 2025 it would finally be a little quieter in the game industry when it comes to layoffs is concerned. Ubisoft is now getting out to the next all -round.
In the course of the ongoing restructuring of the somewhat stumbling company, several branches will be reduced in the future, a location will even be completely closed. This is the studio in Leamington in Great Britain. The Düsseldorf, Stockholm and Newcastle locations are affected by the reduction.
The job cancellations and the studio failure in Leamington have concrete effects on a whopping 185 employees who are put on the street in the course of this. This is deeply grateful for their work and efforts and now wants to support them in the best possible support in the difficult transition phase. Of the 185 affected people, 50 are not paid to the studio failure in Leamington.
The Leamington studio is already the third studio, which is closed by Ubisoft in the past five months. After the flopped shooter XDefiant had been stopped, the end of the branches in San Francisco and Osaka were already announced.
