Resynced Assassin’s Creed release triggers 51 layoffs and union strike at Ubisoft Barcelona
TL;DR Summary
After finishing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft Barcelona plans to lay off 51 developers, prompting a three-day strike by the CSVI union (July 14–16, 2026). The union demands canceling the redundancies, stronger job security, up to 60% remote work, and the promotions and pay raises the team says were promised, as the studio reportedly refocuses on Rainbow Six projects.
