US EditionUbisoft Announces Layoffs at The Division Studio Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm Amid Restructuring Efforts
Up to 55 roles may be cut as Ubisoft aligns staffing with a finalized roadmap after a voluntary leave program at its Swedish studios, covering The Division projects.
- Ubisoft informed employees in its Swedish studios of a proposed organisational restructure that may affect approximately 55 roles across Malmö and Stockholm, IGN reported.
- The company says the reorganisation follows completion of a Voluntary Leave Program launched fall of 2025 and a finalised long-term roadmap and staffing and appointment process.
- Despite the proposed cuts, Ubisoft says core Division projects and engine work will continue as the studios remain the global home and lead for The Division franchise, with Massive handling the Snowdrop engine and early innovation work.
- Ubisoft said the proposed restructuring will begin with a focus on individual agreements, impacted employees are informed directly, and support is provided in line with local regulations.
- Last week Ubisoft closed its Halifax studio, resulting in the loss of 71 jobs, and IGN notes the redundancy scheme followed Tencent's investment of over $1 billion in Vantage Studios.
