Ubisoft is reportedly planning to close RedLynx, the Finnish studio best known for the Trials series. According to VGC, Ubisoft’s review found that RedLynx currently has no active project, and simply downsizing the studio wouldn’t make it sustainable. The proposed closure would affect around 52 employees and is still subject to mandatory negotiations with staff in Finland. Ubisoft is also planning to restructure and downsize Ubisoft Singapore, which would result in around 70 layoffs. That means roughly 122 jobs could be affected across the two studios.

Ubisoft just can’t stop making live-service games that flop. Rainbow Six Siege Mobile is shutting down just 7 months after its global launch, another live-service flop down The next season will still launch as planned, and the game will remain playable for a few more months before its servers go offline.

Ubisoft is moving from DEI to AI. Raashi Sikka, who previously led Ubisoft’s diversity and inclusion team, has been promoted to Chief AI Enablement Officer.

Ubisoft says Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has sold over 3 million copies in just one week. It also got off to a huge start, selling 2 million copies in its first 24 hours. The company says recent updates with bug fixes and gameplay improvements have helped improve the experience for players. Ubisoft also confirmed that New Game+ is coming in a future update.

Ubisoft is facing backlash after a Ubisoft Connect outage prevented some PC players from launching Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, even though the game is supposed to have an offline mode.

Ubisoft Barcelona employees will hold a three-day strike from July 14 to July 16 to protest the company’s planned layoffs of 51 workers. The strike is being organized by the CGT-affiliated Video Game Union Coordination (CSVI) during negotiations over the proposed job cuts. Workers are demanding: - The cancellation of the 51 layoffs. - Stronger job security guarantees to prevent future mass layoffs. - The return of the studio’s previous remote work policy (up to 60% remote). - Previously promised promotions and salary improvements. The strike comes just after the release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, which was developed in part by Ubisoft Barcelona and has sold over 2 million copies

Ubisoft has quietly removed a controversial sentence from its latest annual report that previously claimed microtransactions in premium games “make the player experience more fun.” Last year’s report said: “Our monetization offer within premium games makes the player experience more fun by allowing them to personalize their avatars or progress more quickly.” In the new report, Ubisoft keeps the part saying players should be able to enjoy premium games without spending extra money, but the “more fun” wording is gone.

Ubisoft says taking too long to release a game can be just as risky as releasing it too early. In its latest financial report, the company explained that developers need enough time to make a great game, but waiting too long risks missing the right moment as player interest and market trends may have changed by launch. Many fans immediately thought of Beyond Good & Evil 2. Ubisoft never mentioned the game by name, but the comparison is hard to ignore since it has been in development for years with no release date. Ubisoft has repeatedly confirmed that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development, but there is still no word on when it will launch.
