Ubisoft has laid off 19 employees at its North Carolina-based Red Storm studio, a developer known for its legacy in the Tom Clancy franchise and more recent ventures into VR gaming. The layoffs, confirmed by Ubisoft to IGN, are part of a broader cost-cutting and restructuring initiative affecting only this studio.

In an official statement, Ubisoft explained the decision as “part of our ongoing, targeted restructuring and global cost-saving efforts, and reflects the needs on the studio’s projects.” The publisher added, “While this was not an easy decision, it was a necessary one given our operational priorities. We remain committed to supporting those affected with comprehensive severance packages, extended health-care benefits, and career transition assistance. We deeply appreciate their hard work and the impact they’ve had on Ubisoft.”

No other Ubisoft studios were impacted by this round of layoffs, according to company representatives. However, Ubisoft declined to disclose how many staff remain at Red Storm or comment on the status of any current projects at the studio.

Originally founded in the late 1990s by novelist Tom Clancy, Red Storm Entertainment gained prominence with tactical shooters like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. Ubisoft acquired the studio in 2000, integrating it into its Tom Clancy brand lineup. Over the years, Red Storm transitioned from a lead development role to more of a support and VR-focused team. Notable recent projects include Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, and the now-canceled Splinter Cell VR and The Division Heartland.

The studio also contributed to XDefiant, Ubisoft’s free-to-play shooter that officially shut down last month after its initial announcement in 2024.
