The latter will now focus solely on the Rainbow Six franchise, having previously supported other projects such as the Rabbids series and Star Trek: Bridge Crew.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In total, the latest cuts are expected to impact up to 380 positions, further downsizing Ubisoft&#8217;s global headcount after repeated job losses over recent years, as profits have fallen and the company&#8217;s blockbuster game output has slowed.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Back in 2023, Ubisoft employed more than 20,000 staff. As of this year \u2014 and before today&#8217;s latest changes \u2014 the firm reported that figure was down to 16,590.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Rainbow Six Siege X: Dual Front Mode Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ubisoft-closing-2-more-studios-amid-further-cuts-and-job-losses.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In March, Ubisoft confirmed that 105 staff were set to depart veteran Tom Clancy game studio Red Storm Entertainment, as part of a move that downsized the studio permanently, following three previous waves of layoffs at the company since 2022.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Ubisoft has cut hundreds of staff and fully closed numerous studios in recent times, with 2026 already off to a brutal start. In January, the company canceled six games including its Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and closed two Ubisoft studios completely (Ubisoft Stockholm and Ubisoft Halifax), while making layoffs at its office in Abu Dhabi, at Trials studio RedLynx and at Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora outfit Massive Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Just a week after that, Ubisoft announced plans to ditch 200 jobs at its company headquarters in Paris, leading to protests within the French capital. Next, in February, Ubisoft was forced to reassure fans that its long-awaited Splinter Cell remake remained in development after 40 jobs were eliminated at its studio Ubisoft Toronto.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
