""This restructure follows the completion of the Voluntary Leave Program launched during the fall of 2025, a finalized long-term roadmap and a completed staffing and appointment process, which together have provided clearer visibility into the structure and capacity required to support the two studios' work and sustainably over time," Ubisoft told in a statement. "These proposed changes are forward-looking and structural, they are not related to individual performance, recent deliveries or the quality of the work produced by the teams.""
""We aren't even two weeks into the new year and Ubisoft is already looking to carry out its second round of layoffs in 2026. The company has informed workers at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm of a "proposed organizational restructure" that could affect around 55 roles across its two Swedish studios. Workers at Massive (the developer of The Division series, Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora) were offered voluntary buyouts late last year as part of Ubisoft's ongoing cost-cutting efforts.""
Ubisoft proposed an organizational restructure that could eliminate around 55 roles across Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of continuing cost-cutting efforts. Massive previously offered voluntary buyouts and will continue work on projects including The Division 3. Ubisoft Stockholm is developing a new, unannounced franchise that uses the studio's Ubisoft Scalar cloud technology. The company stated the changes are structural, not performance-related, and asserted the long-term direction for both studios remains unchanged. Earlier in January, Ubisoft closed its Halifax studio, cutting 71 jobs shortly after the Halifax team unionized, citing company-wide streamlining actions.
