Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says that the company anticipated "sustained demand that didn’t fully materialize" post-Covid, which motivated the launch of "too many projects and increased complexity." This news comes less than 24 hours after 40 people were laid off at Ubisoft Toronto.
In an interview with Variety, where Guillemot is asked if Ubisoft would be "undergoing layoffs, beyond the 200 proposed reductions with the voluntary departure plan," he begins his response with, "as we announced, the €200 million in additional cost reductions will include selective restructuring across the company."
