Ubisoft made an unexpected decision regarding layoffs, particularly in its American operations, by letting go of 45 employees. The company cited strategic reasons behind this move. But what promise did Ubisoft make to those it laid off? Here are the details…
Ubisoft’s Unusual Layoff Decision: Severance and Job Placement for 45 Employees
Ubisoft has pledged to provide severance packages and career support to the affected employees, promising to help them find new jobs. The company emphasized its commitment to offering the best possible support during this transition.
A Ubisoft spokesperson highlighted that while the decision was difficult, it was necessary. “This decision was made to align our studios with future business and development goals. We are committed to providing comprehensive support to the affected employees and are grateful for their contributions to Ubisoft,” the spokesperson stated, reflecting the company’s struggle with this decision.
Interestingly, this is the second wave of layoffs that the Red Storm team has faced this summer. In May, Ubisoft halted the development of “The Division: Heartland,” calling it a “tough decision.” It seems that Ubisoft is not shying away from making significant changes as it reshapes its future business strategies. However, it remains unclear how many Red Storm team members were affected by this round of layoffs.
Ubisoft’s decision to lay off employees will have an impact on the gaming industry, and how this will influence the company’s future projects and its workforce remains to be seen. The coming days will likely reveal more about these effects.
