Ubisoft Toronto has laid off 40 employees as part of the company's broader cost-savings and restructuring plan announced in January 2026. The cuts are aimed at transforming Ubisoft into a more 'gamer-centric' company through the formation of five internal Creative Houses, studio realignments, and external leadership hires. Development on the Splinter Cell remake continues. The layoffs follow a string of workforce reductions across Ubisoft studios, including closures and redundancies in Halifax and Abu Dhabi, prompting strikes by approximately 1,200 workers and union calls for CEO Yves Guillemot's resignation.
