Many hands makes… more work?
Ubisoft has announced it has laid off more than 30 employees from its Ubisoft Toronto studio in a bit to help it “deliver on its ambitious roadmap”.
“Ubisoft Toronto has decided to conduct a targeted realignment to ensure it can deliver on its ambitious roadmap,” the company told PC Gamer.
“Unfortunately, this will impact the roles of 33 team members who will be leaving Ubisoft. We are committed to providing comprehensive support to them, including severance and career assistance, to help through this transition.”
Ubisoft Toronto has recently taken over development of the beleaguered Prince of Persia The Sands of Time remake, which started life at Ubisoft Pune. It’s also working on a Splinter Cell remake.
While it’s unclear how the layoffs will make work easier, the publisher continued, “our plan remains unchanged, and our teams are working to deliver on the Splinter Cell remake and other projects at the studio.”
