Ubisoft guts OG Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon studio, laying off 105 developers as Red Storm transitions from game development to tech support

A prisoner in the original Rainbow Six game.

Multiple outlets are reporting that Ubisoft has ended game development at Red Storm Entertainment, the studio that created the Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon series. The reports suggest that over 105 developers are being laid off as a result of the decision.

IGN, GamesIndustry.biz, and VGC are all separately reporting essentially the same details: Red Storm Entertainment is transitioning away from game development, with a permanent downsizing cutting 105 jobs. Red Storm will now function as a support studio, offering IT assistance and development support on the Snowdrop engine, which has powered many of Ubisoft's games since it debuted in 2016 with The Division.
