Recent news confirms layoffs at Ubisoft’s Red Storm Entertainment, the studio behind games like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. Reports indicate the studio was simultaneously working on ten different projects before its development team was disbanded. According to Insider Gaming, Red Storm functioned as a support studio for various titles, including the live-service game Brawhalla, the highly anticipated Beyond Good and Evil 2, and existing games like The Division 2, providing services like audio work.
Ubisoft has a number of projects in development, including seasonal updates for Rainbow Six Siege, a new Ghost Recon game called Project OVR, and content for Brawlhalla, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and The Division 2. They’re also working on a smaller Rainbow Six game called Slice & Dice, a new Splinter Cell title, and support for Watch Dogs Director’s Cut. Additionally, they’re doing early concept work for The Division 3 and another unannounced game.
Just last week, news emerged that Red Storm Entertainment had laid off 105 employees. The studio is now reportedly being restructured to focus on supporting the Snowdrop Engine and providing global IT services.
For the past 30 years, Red Storm Entertainment has created a lot of games. It started in 1996 when Tom Clancy founded the studio with the goal of making games based on his popular spy novels. This led to the creation of the well-known Rainbow Six series. In 2000, Ubisoft acquired Red Storm Entertainment.
Over the past ten years, Red Storm Entertainment has collaborated with other studios on VR games, such as Star Trek: Bridge Crew. They also started several projects that were ultimately cancelled, including a VR Splinter Cell game and The Division Heartland. Additionally, Red Storm supported the multiplayer shooter XDefiant before its servers were taken offline.
In July 2025, Red Storm Entertainment reduced its workforce by 19 people. Ubisoft explained that these layoffs were part of a larger plan to cut costs and reorganize the company.
Ubisoft announced today that it is laying off 19 employees at Red Storm Entertainment. The company stated this is part of a larger plan to reorganize and cut costs, aligning with the current needs of its projects. Ubisoft acknowledged the difficulty of the decision but said it was necessary. Those affected will receive severance packages, continued health benefits, and help finding new jobs. Ubisoft expressed gratitude for their contributions.
Ubisoft has been receiving criticism following restructuring plans announced earlier this year. Last month, 1,200 employees went on strike to protest the company’s efforts to cut costs and its requirement for employees to return to the office. Union leaders Marc Rutschlé and Chakib Mataoui even asked CEO Yves Guillemot to step down.
