Ubisoft to Cut 70 Jobs in Singapore, Close Finland Studio
Ubisoft said the cuts are part of a cost-cutting reorganization after poor financial results and weak sales from Skull & Bones.
- Ubisoft is closing Finnish studio RedLynx, affecting up to 52 employees, while simultaneously cutting 70 staff at its Singapore studio.
- These cuts follow Ubisoft's ongoing reorganization into a leaner operation focused on fewer games, part of a broader pattern of studio closures in recent years.
- Once a prominent Xbox Live Arcade developer, RedLynx gained renown with Trials and Trials Evolution before becoming a support studio after Trials Rising's 2019 launch.
- The Singapore studio, developer of pirate game Skull and Bones, will lose 70 staff, leaving approximately 280 employees, though Ubisoft insisted the location "remains an important part of Ubisoft."
- Elsewhere, Ubisoft continues shuffling leadership, with Natalie Francis recently appointed Studio Managing Editor of Massive Entertainment and Thomas Andr becoming General Manager for the Creative Network.
