Ubisoft lays off 19 people at Red Storm Entertainment
, by Thibaut
Initially focused solely on the Tom Clancy saga and then on VR games such as Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, Red Storm Entertainment has been affected by redundancies.
Ubisoft confirmed the news in a press release sent to IGN. As a result, 19 people working mainly on Rainbow Six Siege and on projects related to improving the Snowdrop engine have left the company.
"Today, Ubisoft made the decision to eliminate 19 roles at Red Storm Entertainment. This step is part of our ongoing, targeted restructuring and global cost-saving efforts, and reflects the needs on the studio’s projects. 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."
Red Storm was also at work on The Division Heartland, which was cancelled in May 2024.
