Ubisoft axes 185 staff who worked on Star Wars Outlaws and Skull and Bones

Ubisoft is shuttering one of its UK-based studios and laying off 185 members of staff, many of whom worked on recent titles like Star Wars Outlaws and Skull and Bones.

The Leamington Spa studio, with around 50 employees, is being closed permanently, while “targeted restructurings” in Dusseldorf, Stockholm, and Ubisoft Reflections in Newcastle will see another 135 staff lose their roles. As reported by Eurogamer, Ubisoft stated the decision was part of “ongoing efforts to prioritize projects and reduce costs that ensure long-term stability at Ubisoft,” which is just the latest in a long-line of layoffs from the company.
