Developers at Ubisoft Barcelona have started a three-day strike to protest the company’s plan to lay off 51 employees who worked on Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. According to one of the game’s developers, the Barcelona team created all the underwater levels. Despite Black Flag Resynced selling 2 million copies on its first day, that team is now being laid off. The workers are asking Ubisoft to: - Cancel the 51 layoffs. - Guarantee better job security. - Bring back the studio’s previous remote work policy (up to 60% remote work). - Honor previously promised promotions and salary increases. Ubisoft has responded to layoffs that: "remains a proposal, and no final decision will be made until the collective consultation process has concluded".

Developers working on GTA 6 have announced a union effort linked to the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain, one of the biggest labor movements at a major AAA game studio so far. The group says they want better job security, clearer communication from management, and stronger protections for employees during game development. Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two, has denied claims that recent firings were connected to union activity.

The developers shared a new update on the MECCHA CHAMELEON malware incident. According to the team, the game itself was never infected.m, the breach was limited to a system engineer’s test PC, compromised while investigating a malicious mod map. The attacker bypassed the engineer’s Discord 2FA, took control of the official Discord server, and removed the development team. - The infected PC was a spare testing machine with no access to the game’s source files. - Internal logs confirmed the game files were never accessed or modified. - The compromised PC has been completely wiped and reformatted. The team warns players not to trust the current Discord server, as the attacker may continue posting fake announcements.
