Studio Closure and Layoffs Announced
Ubisoft has announced a proposal to close its RedLynx studio in Finland, which could impact up to 52 employees. Concurrently, the company has eliminated 70 positions at Ubisoft Singapore. These moves are part of a broader restructuring and cost-cutting initiative by the publisher.
Impact on RedLynx and Ubisoft Singapore
RedLynx, known for the Trials series, was acquired by Ubisoft in 2011. The studio's last internally developed game was 'Gwen's Getaway,' a mobile title soft-launched and then canceled in 2023. Ubisoft Singapore, established in 2008, contributed to Assassin's Creed naval combat and developed 'Skull and Bones,' which launched in early 2024 after significant delays.
Ongoing Restructuring and Job Cuts
Both RedLynx and Ubisoft Singapore had been providing support to other Ubisoft studios and were placed under the Creative Network division during a restructuring last year. This latest round of job cuts follows previous layoffs at studios like Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft Stockholm, and its Paris headquarters, as well as the closure of other studios in Winnipeg, Belgrade, and Halifax.
Company's Stated Support
Ubisoft stated its commitment to supporting affected teams throughout this process, emphasizing care and respect. The company has been undergoing a cost-cutting drive that has led to the cancellation of at least half a dozen games and the closure of several studios this year.
