The consequences of Ubisofts numerous failed games, controversies, and poor management in 2024 have seemingly caught up to them in 2025, with the company announcing the shutdown of Ubisoft Leamington, their UK-based studio acquired in 2017 from Activision and formerly known as FreeStyleGames.UbisoftAccording to reports, Ubisofts Leamington team of around 50 employees will be disbanded, while other Ubisoft offices in Dsseldorf, Stockholm, and the Newcastle-upon-Tyne-based Ubisoft Reflections will be downsized, leading to 185 terminated employees across these offices. As part of Ubisoft, the Leamington branch worked on games such as Star Wars Outlaws, Skull and Bones, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Tom Clancys The Division 2, and Far Cry 5.As part of our ongoing efforts to prioritise projects and reduce costs that ensure long-term stability at Ubisoft, we have announced targeted restructurings at Ubisoft Dsseldorf, Ubisoft Stockholm, and Ubisoft Reflections and the permanent closure of Ubisoft Leamington site, Ubisoft told Eurogamer. Unfortunately, this should impact 185 employees overall. We are deeply grateful for their contributions and are committed to supporting them through this transition.Earlier it was reported that Tencent and Ubisofts founding Guillemot family are considering cutting off a part of Ubisoft and leveraging the companys assets to form an entirely new venture, currentlyevaluating which assets to include in a potential new entity and determining their value. With the company being a shell of its former self, it seems that should Assassins Creed Shadows recently delayed until March 20 fail, there will be more unfortunate headlines about Ubisoft employees being laid off.Dont forget to join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Ubisoft Shuts Down Its Studio in Leamington, Fires 185 Employees appeared first on CG SHARES.
