Summary
Ubisoft has closed studios in Winnipeg and Belgrade and reduced publishing roles worldwide, with 380 jobs reportedly at risk. The article notes Ubisoft Barcelona was affected by layoffs after the launch of Black Flag Resynced, which also led to staff strikes, and that the company is reorganizing under new Creative Houses leadership. These workforce moves are presented as part of a broader group-wide transformation aimed at focusing resources and improving financial performance amid softer net bookings and a projected Q2 decline. Ubisoft's CEO framed the changes as restructuring to support a new operating model and prepare for a stronger content cycle. Specific dates for the closures or the timing of the 380 at-risk roles are not provided.
