Ubisoft Proposes RedLynx Closure and Singapore Staff Cuts

Ubisoft plans to close its RedLynx development studio in Finland and cut 70 positions at Ubisoft Singapore, gamereactor.asia reported. The proposed studio closure in Finland threatens 52 jobs, while the Singapore reductions affect about twenty percent of the studio’s workforce, according to reporting by Gamespot, VGC, Mediacorp, and Esports ID. The cuts add to a series of operational changes across the French publisher’s global network throughout 2026.

Negotiations and Workforce Impact in Finland and Singapore

The fate of RedLynx remains uncertain because Finnish labor laws require formal consultation and negotiation processes with employees before any major structural changes take place, gamereactor.asia reported. Ubisoft stated that RedLynx is not currently working on any new projects, making the closure economically necessary. Founded in 2000 and acquired by Ubisoft in 2011, RedLynx previously lost 60 staff members during a 2025 restructuring that shifted focus toward mobile games. Meanwhile, the 70 job cuts at Ubisoft Singapore have already been confirmed by management to align capacity with future production needs, though Gamespot’s initial report briefly mentioned 72 positions before aligning with the official figure of 70 reported by VGC and Mediacorp.

Broader Restructuring and Studio Closures Across Europe

The reductions extend beyond Finland and Singapore, with Ubisoft planning to cut approximately 100 jobs in Germany out of roughly 600 total employees spread across three studios, according to ANTARA News. ANTARA News also reported that Ubisoft has canceled at least six game projects and shut down several other facilities this year, including locations in Winnipeg, Belgrade, and Halifax. These operational changes coincide with the reorganization of Creative House 2, which places studios in Montréal, Paris, Sweden, and Toronto under the umbrella of Massive Entertainment, alongside a scheduled January 2027 closure for Rainbow Six Mobile.
