Company News
Ubisoft has laid off 105 workers from Red Storm Entertainment, redirecting remaining staff away from game development to support roles on the Snowdrop engine, IT and customer relations. The cuts were confirmed by a source at Ubisoft to GamesIndustry.biz. Founded in 1996 and acquired by Ubisoft in 2000, Red Storm previously developed Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon titles. The studio's recent projects, including a Splinter Cell VR game and The Division Heartland, were both cancelled. The layoffs form part of Ubisoft's €200 million savings plan announced in January alongside a major restructuring. The publisher has cancelled six games, including a Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, and implemented voluntary redundancy initiatives across its studios following poor performance of recent titles.
Ubisoft has appointed new leadership to advance its Creative Houses operating model as part of its ongoing transformation. Julien Bares will join as General Manager of Creative Houses 3 and 5, overseeing high-intensity live experiences and casual mobile games respectively. Thomas Andrén has been named General Manager of the Creative Network, which will provide production and creative expertise supporting the Creative Houses. The new structure organises teams into five Creative Houses aligned around brands sharing similar player experiences. Bares, who previously served as Head of Development at Tencent Games Global, brings over 25 years of industry experience and will start on 23 March. Andrén, formerly at Massive Entertainment, will assume his role on 1 April whilst serving as interim Managing Director at Massive Entertainment.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 creative director Fawzi Mesmar has confirmed the long-in-development game remains unaffected by Ubisoft's recent reorganisation, which resulted in project cancellations, studio closures and layoffs, including 200 proposed job cuts at the Paris headquarters. Writing on LinkedIn, Mesmar said his team and the project were unaffected by changes that saw Ubisoft split into five "Creative Houses". Beyond Good & Evil 2 was placed in Creative House 4, focused on narrative-driven and fantasy franchises alongside Anno, Rayman and Prince of Persia. The game, which began development in 2007, was re-announced in 2017 with ambitious features including space flight and multiple solar systems. Mesmar expressed sadness over cancelled projects affecting colleagues but said the team remains "committed and focused on delivering a remarkable game".
Ubisoft has increased subscription prices for Just Dance+, the three-year-old service for its 17-year-old franchise, weeks after cancelling six games and announcing a voluntary redundancy programme. One-month passes now cost $4.99, up from $3.99, whilst annual subscriptions rise to $29.99 from $24.99. The company attributed the price increase to evolving music licensing agreements, stating these conditions "directly affect what we can keep, renew, or add to the catalogue". Ubisoft said adjustments were necessary to ensure the service's long-term growth. The decision follows recent studio closures and the reported delay of an unannounced Assassin's Creed: Black Flag remake. Ubisoft has also committed to implementing "player-facing Generative AI" despite ongoing restructuring challenges.
Ubisoft is seeking to eliminate 200 positions at its Paris headquarters through a Rupture Conventionnelle Collective, a French voluntary mutual termination agreement that enables job cuts without standard redundancies. The move affects nearly 20% of the roughly 1,100 employees at the Paris offices. The agreement requires collective negotiation with employee representatives and validation by French authorities. It includes specific commitments on maximum job cuts, support for displaced workers and termination pay. However, questions remain about what happens if insufficient employees volunteer. A similar programme at Ubisoft Massive recently failed to attract enough volunteers, forcing the company to impose conventional layoffs affecting 55 positions before closing Ubisoft Stockholm entirely. The proposal follows last week's restructuring announcement, which included game cancellations, delays and warnings of selective studio closures.
