Ubisoft is closing its Winnipeg and Belgrade studios, and restructuring others
Ubisoft is closing its Winnipeg and Belgrade studios, and restructuring its Barcelona office, which could result in as many as 380 job losses, VGC understands.
Ubisoft Barcelona will be restructured to focus solely on Rainbow Sixâ¯projects. In addition, Ubisoft has internally announced organizational changes within its Global Publishing team, which will see role reductions across the company.
Winnipeg was founded in 2018 and comprised of around 100 employees. It focused on developing technology for Ubisoftâs game engines, Anvil and Snowdrop.
Founded in 2016, Ubisoft Belgrade contributed to games including The Crew 2, Tom Clancyâs Rainbow Six, Riders Republic , and Skull & Bones .
The closures and restructuring come as part of Ubisoftâs global cost-saving plan, which has so far resulted in the cancellation of at least six games , the postponement of seven others, and multiple studio closures, resulting in hundreds of job losses this year.
In March, Ubisoft announced around 100 job losses at historic Tom Clancy game studio Red Storm Entertainment , which it said would no longer be developing its own games.
Ubisoft also proposed the elimination of up to 200 jobs at its headquarters in Paris , France, or around 18% of staff, and has confirmed layoffs at its Toronto studio  and others.
