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".
