Ubisoft is back in the spotlight after announcing new layoffs within its structure. This time, the adjustment affects 40 employees of the Ubisoft Toronto studio, responsible in the past for titles like Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell Blacklist, or Far Cry 6. The measure is part of a broader internal restructuring within the French company.

Despite the concern that the news may generate, Ubisoft has wanted to make it clear that one of its most anticipated projects is still moving forward. The Splinter Cell remake, announced in 2021, continues in development according to official information.

Ubisoft Toronto loses 40 employees, but the Splinter Cell remake is still on track

Ubisoft Toronto confirmed the layoffs and explained that it will support the affected workers, trying to reassign them if possible within the company itself. At the same time, it reiterated that the development of the Splinter Cell Remake will not be impacted by these cuts.

The studio not only works on its own projects but also provides support for other Ubisoft productions, including Rainbow Six releases. The company insists that Toronto remains a strategic pillar within its global structure.

It’s worth remembering that the remake lost its director in 2025, being replaced by David Grivel, who had previously held that position in the same project. Five years after its announcement, no official playable material has been shown, which maintains uncertainty among fans. Even so, Ubisoft assures that development continues and that the project remains a priority within its future catalog.
