Ubisoft is cutting 105 jobs at its North Carolina-based studio Red Storm Entertainment as part of a broader restructuring effort, according to a source who spoke to GamesIndustry.biz.
The move will see Red Storm end its game development work, although the studio will remain open. The remaining staff will focus their attention on supporting the Snowdrop engine as well as IT and customer relations.
The studio was also working on several projects that were later cancelled, including a Splinter Cell VR game in 2022 and Tom Clancy’s The Division’s Heartland in 2024.
The layoffs are part of Ubisoft’s broader plan to reduce costs by up to €200 million.
A source told GamesIndustry.biz that affected employees will receive severance packages and support if they leave the company.
Ubisoft has already made previous layoffs at Red Storm in 2024 and 2025, as well as launched a voluntary redundancy program at its headquarters earlier this year.
The company has also asked employees to return to the office full time, a move that led to a staff strike.
Red Storm is part of Ubisoft’s Creative Network, which supports the company’s core development teams.
