Ubisoft is reducing its workforce across several European studios, including the closure of one studio entirely, leading to 185 job losses.

The hardest-hit location is Ubisoft’s Leamington studio in the UK, with only a "small number" of its 50 employees remaining, according to our sister site, Eurogamer.

Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Ubisoft Stockholm, and Ubisoft Reflections are also affected by “targeted restructuring” aimed at “prioritising projects and reducing costs,” as part of the company’s broader strategy to secure long-term stability.

"As part of our ongoing efforts to prioritise projects and reduce costs that ensure long-term stability at Ubisoft, we have announced targeted restructurings at Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Ubisoft Stockholm, and Ubisoft Reflections and the permanent closure of Ubisoft Leamington site," a Ubisoft spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz.

"Unfortunately, this should impact 185 employees overall. We are deeply grateful for their contributions and are committed to supporting them through this transition."

The wave of layoffs from last year appears to be continuing into 2025. So far this January, we've reported on the closures of Freejam, Splash Damage, and Jar of Sparks.
