Ubisoft has appointed Christoph Hartmann, Amazon Games vice president, to lead its Creative House 2 division, which oversees the Tom Clancy franchise including titles such as "Splinter Cell" and "The Division". Hartmann brings significant industry experience, having co-founded and led 2K, owned by Take-Two Interactive. During his tenure there, he oversaw major franchises including Borderlands, BioShock and Civilization. The appointment signals Ubisoft's continued investment in its Tom Clancy properties as the French video games company seeks experienced leadership for one of its key creative divisions.

Ubisoft is closing two studios, Winnipeg and Belgrade, as part of ongoing restructuring that has cut approximately 380 jobs. Ubisoft Winnipeg, opened in 2018 with around 100 employees, worked on the company's Anvil and Snowdrop engines and contributed to titles including Ghost Recon Wildlands and Skull and Bones. The Belgrade studio, established a decade ago, supported projects from Steep to Skull and Bones. The closures follow extensive cuts across Ubisoft's Global Publishing division. The company's workforce has shrunk from over 20,000 employees in 2023 to approximately 15,000. This year alone, Ubisoft has shuttered studios in Halifax and Stockholm, reduced staff at Red Storm Entertainment, and cancelled six games including the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake.

Ubisoft Entertainment reported full-year net bookings of €1.525 billion, down 17% year-on-year, primarily due to a softer new release schedule. Non-IFRS EBIT reached €1.040 billion, meeting guidance, while free cash flow consumption was €443 million, within the target range. The gaming company reduced its fixed cost base by €118 million and headcount by approximately 1,200 employees to 16,590. Net debt improved to €187 million from €885 million a year earlier, with cash holdings of around €1.35 billion. For fiscal 2027, Ubisoft expects single-digit percentage decline in net bookings and high single-digit negative operating margin. The company discontinued seven projects and delayed six others whilst leveraging AI to enhance game development efficiency.
