"Ubisoft has begun another round of staff reductions across multiple studios as part of an ongoing restructuring effort, and it appears to be connected to the formation of its new subsidiary, Vantage Studios. The latest cuts affect two long-running Ubisoft teams: Finnish developer RedLynx and Sweden-based Massive Entertainment. According to reports, Ubisoft RedLynx, best known for the Trials series, may lose up to 60 employees as part of a proposed restructure. The studio is currently in consultation, meaning the number may change, but it signals a significant downsizing."
""Ubisoft has today announced a restructuring proposal for RedLynx as part of the company's global efforts to simplify, reduce costs, and ensure a stronger prioritization and efficiency across the company's worldwide studio network," said Redlynx on its official website. "Before making a decision on the proposal, Ubisoft RedLynx will negotiate the matter with its staff in collective negotiations.""
""take their next career step on their own terms, supported by a comprehensive package that includes financial and career assistance.""
Ubisoft is conducting another wave of staff reductions across multiple studios linked to its new Vantage Studios subsidiary. The latest measures impact Finnish developer RedLynx and Sweden-based Massive Entertainment. RedLynx may lose up to 60 employees as part of a proposed restructure and is in consultation with staff about the change. The proposed plan would refocus RedLynx from multiplatform development to a studio specialized in mobile and small screens. Massive Entertainment has launched a voluntary career transition program offering financial and career support, which is viewed internally as a targeted effort to reduce headcount. Vantage Studios is positioned to consolidate major franchises under a Tencent-backed creative house.
