Ubisoft’s Cost-Cutting Shakeup Threatens Its Biggest Upcoming Games
TL;DR
Ubisoft’s cost-cutting drive, including shuttering Red Storm Entertainment and laying off about 105 staff, is already forcing major titles—like the next Ghost Recon (codename OVR) and the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake—to be scaled back or delayed, with insiders warning that further cuts totaling around €100 million could hollow out pipelines across the publisher’s lineup; Ubisoft had not commented at publication.
