Ubisoft lays off 30+ Ubisoft Toronto devs to "deliver on its ambitious roadmap"
Ubisoft has laid off 33 members of its Ubisoft Toronto staff.
In a statement to press, Ubisoft said the layoffs were part of a “targeted realignment” necessary to ensure it can “deliver on its ambitious roadmap.
“Ubisoft Toronto has decided to conduct a targeted realignment to ensure it can deliver on its ambitious roadmap,” a company representative said in a statement to PC Gamer.
“Unfortunately, this will impact the roles of 33 team members who will be leaving Ubisoft. We are committed to providing comprehensive support to them, including severance and career assistance, to help through this transition.”
It’s unclear what departments have been affected by the cuts, or how this may impact Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake that Ubisoft Toronto was recently brought in to support. However, Ubisoft insists “our plan remains unchanged, and our teams are working to deliver on the Splinter Cell remake and other projects at the studio”.
