"In a statement, Ubisoft explained, "This restructure follows the completion of the Voluntary Leave Program launched during the fall of 2025, a finalized long-term roadmap, and a completed staffing and appointment process, which together have provided clearer visibility into the structure and capacity required to support the two studios' work and sustainably over time." "The proposed restructuring will begin with a focus on individual agreements, and impacted employees are being informed directly and supported with care and respect in line with local regulations," Ubisoft said."
"The publisher's redundancy scheme came after a new deal with Tencent, in which the conglomerate invested over $1 billion in a smaller subsidiary, Vantage Studios. The new studio will focus on the Assassin's Creed , , and Rainbow Six Siege franchises. notes that despite the new layoffs, updates for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 will continue, as will development for The Division 3 and the survival extraction mode The Division 2: Survivors ."
Ubisoft plans to make 55 redundancies at Ubisoft Stockholm and Massive Entertainment after completing a Voluntary Leave Program and finalizing a long-term roadmap and staffing appointments. Massive, acquired in 2008, develops The Division 2, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Star Wars Outlaws. The publisher said the restructuring will begin with individual agreements and that impacted employees will be informed directly and supported in line with local regulations. The move follows a broader cost-cutting plan including an October 2025 voluntary layoff request at Massive and a deal with Tencent that funded a new Vantage Studios focused on major franchises. Development and updates for The Division series will continue.
