Ubisoft is shutting down two additional studios as part of an ongoing restructuring and cost-cutting effort. Reports say Ubisoft Winnipeg and Ubisoft Belgrade are being closed, according to coverage cited by multiple outlets, including Eurogamer and Rock Paper Shotgun. At the same time, Ubisoft Barcelona is reportedly being reorganized so it focuses on the Rainbow Six franchise, rather than supporting a broader range of work.
The latest changes are also reported to affect jobs. Several sources state that up to around 380 employees are expected to be laid off as a result of the studio closures and the Barcelona restructuring, with some accounts describing the figure as an estimate or jobs at risk. Additional reporting across outlets also frames the moves as part of multiple rounds of cuts earlier this year.
While the specific number affected can vary by estimate, the core points reported across the sources are consistent: two studio locations are closed, a third is reshaped around Rainbow Six, and the changes are tied to hundreds of job losses.
