Ubisoft has proposed closing its RedLynx studio in Finland and cut 70 positions in Singapore, while separately planning to reduce its German workforce by about 100.
The proposed RedLynx closure would affect up to 52 positions and is subject to a local change-negotiation process, Ubisoft told GamesIndustry.biz. The Singapore cuts affect around one-fifth of the studio’s roughly 350 employees.
Stephen Totilo’s GameFile reported the planned German reductions. Ubisoft plans to offer voluntary buyouts and hopes to avoid direct layoffs, according to Totilo.
Ubisoft said the Singapore cuts were intended to align the studio with upcoming production needs. It said the studio remained an important part of its global production organization.
“We deeply value the contributions of both teams and recognize the impact this may have on our colleagues. We are committed to supporting our teams throughout this process and conducting it with care and respect,” Ubisoft told GamesIndustry.biz.
RedLynx and Ubisoft Singapore have recently been supporting other Ubisoft studios. Both were placed in the Creative Network division under a restructuring announced last year.
Ubisoft acquired RedLynx, creator of the Trials series, in 2011. Dozens of workers at the studio were laid off a year ago.
The last game RedLynx developed itself was Gwen’s Getaway, a mobile decoration-and-puzzle title. It soft-launched in 2023, but Ubisoft cancelled it just over a year later.
Ubisoft Singapore opened as a support studio in 2008. Its work on naval combat in Assassin’s Creed games led to it developing Skull and Bones, which launched in early 2024 after repeated delays.
Ubisoft has more than 600 employees across three studios in Germany. Those studios primarily support larger game projects but have also led development on recent The Settlers and Anno games. Ubisoft Mainz was responsible for Anno 117: Pax Romana in 2025.
The company’s cost-cutting drive has resulted in the cancellation of at least half a dozen games and the closure of several studios this year, including its locations in Winnipeg and Belgrade.
Ubisoft also closed its Halifax studio two weeks after workers there unionized.
Other job cuts this year have affected Star Wars Outlaws developer Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft Stockholm and the company’s Paris headquarters.
