Ubisoft slashes 124 jobs, Canadians mostly affected

Just months after eliminating dozens of customer service jobs in May, Ubisoft has pulled out the axe again.

According to news outlets, including IGN, the video game developer confirmed in a release that it has laid off 124 employees as it reorganizes its Canadian studios.

98 of the affected positions were based in Canada — representing approximately two per cent of Ubisoft’s Canadian workforce.

“These are not decisions taken lightly and we are providing comprehensive support for our colleagues who will be leaving Ubisoft during this transition,” the company said in the release.

“We also want to share our utmost gratitude and respect for their many contributions to the company. This restructuring does not affect our production teams.”

Ubisoft added that those let go were members of its business administrative services and IT teams — both across the Hybride VFX studio in Montreal as well as the global IT team.

The company employs more than 2,200 people in Canada, according to LinkedIn.
