We’ve just received some bad news from Ubisoft. The publisher has decided to close another of its studios, following the one in Halifax last January.
Sadly, Ubisoft Winnipeg (based in Canada) is now a thing of the past. Approximately 85 employees are expected to lose their jobs as a result of this decision. Several projects within the company are also reportedly affected.
The now-closed studio had provided support for titles such as Rainbow Six Siege, XDefiant, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Far Cry 6.
It’s always tough to hear about studio closures and job losses. Wishing the affected employees the best in their future endeavors. It’s a challenging time for many in the industry.
Absolutely, it’s a challenging situation for everyone involved. It’s interesting to see how these closures can impact the gaming community and future projects, as studios often bring unique creativity to the industry. Hopefully, the affected employees find new opportunities soon.
