Seven additional titles are scheduled for delay over the next 12 months, extending the impact of the restructuring on the company’s game development pipeline. This announcement follows earlier statements that Ubisoft was adopting a leaner organizational model, reducing overhead and reallocating resources toward high‑potential projects. The company confirmed that the affected studios, located in France and other European markets, will be shuttered with staff reassigned to ongoing projects or phase‑out processes.

Founded in 1986, bUbisoft/b has long been a prominent developer and publisher within the video‑game industry, known for series such as Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance. The restructuring reflects a broader trend among large publishers to streamline operations in response to evolving market dynamics and competitive pressures. The company’s CEO indicated that the steps are intended to enhance long‑term viability, though the immediate effect is a contraction of the workforce and a pause on several active development streams. The industry will monitor the outcomes of this shift as it informs future investment and production strategies.
