Ubisoft Unveils New Creative House Structure, Axes Six Games, and Announces Final Round of Cost-Cutting Measures to Achieve €200m in Savings

Ubisoft has announced the key aspects of its new Creative House structure, which includes the cancellation of six games, the postponement of seven more, and a final round of cost-cutting measures aimed at delivering €200 million in savings. This restructuring will involve the closure of several studios, including Ubisoft Stockholm, and will see all staff return to in-office work five days a week. The company's new structure is designed to support a more focused, efficient, and sustainable organization, with each Creative House having end-to-end responsibility for its respective brands. Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, emphasized that these difficult decisions are necessary for the company's long-term success, particularly in a highly competitive market where content quality is paramount. The changes will result in an additional operating loss of around €1 billion for the 2026 financial year but are expected to lay the foundations for a return to midterm growth.
