US EditionUbisoft Continues with Its Cost-Cutting Program as It Cuts 100+ Jobs and Ends Game Development at Its Tom Clancy Studio Red Storm Entertainment
Ubisoft will shift Red Storm to technical support after cancelling major projects, cutting staff from 180 in 2022 to 75 with 105 layoffs announced this week.
- Ubisoft said it will end game development at Red Storm Entertainment, cutting 105 roles as the North Carolina studio shifts to behind‑the‑scenes technical work.
- Amid wider restructuring, the cuts follow failed or cancelled projects including XDefiant and The Division Heartland, part of Ubisoft's ongoing cost‑cutting program with studio closures and layoffs.
- Founded in 1996, Red Storm Entertainment built a pedigree on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, becoming Ubisoft's VR specialist with Werewolves Within in recent years.
- This marks the third round of cuts at Red Storm in as many years, following losses of 19 jobs last year and 45 positions in 2024, while Ubisoft plans 200 HQ job cuts in Paris that prompted protests.
- With its 30th anniversary later this year, Red Storm Entertainment will remain open in a technical role, with Assassin's Creed Nexus VR as its final release.
