Ubisoft Plans Restructure at Massive and Ubisoft Stockholm, Putting 55 Roles at Risk

Ubisoft says the proposal follows a voluntary leave program, with a finalized roadmap clarifying future staffing needs.

Overview

  • Impacted sites include Massive’s Malmö and Stockholm locations as well as Ubisoft Stockholm, with the changes proposed rather than finalized.
  • Ubisoft describes the cuts as forward-looking and structural, not tied to performance or recent deliveries.
  • Massive will prioritize The Division franchise, with The Division 3 in development and continued support for The Division 2, including the Survivors extraction mode.
  • The studios are set to continue central work on the Snowdrop engine and Ubisoft Connect, alongside an unannounced tech-focused project to be revealed later.
  • The reshaping aligns with a broader reorganization that introduced Vantage Studios with a 25% Tencent stake, and reporting indicates the earlier voluntary program saw insufficient uptake.
