Ubisoft closes Winnipeg office, laying off another 65 staff
Summary
Ubisoft has closed its Winnipeg studio and laid off 65 employees as part of a wider cost-cutting and restructuring effort. The company is narrowing its focus to Rainbow Six-related projects and is also making changes in Belgrade and Barcelona. Ubisoft previously planned to expand the Winnipeg operation, but it is now reversing course amid pressure to reduce costs. The move follows earlier studio closures in Halifax and signals continued volatility across the game development business.
