Overview
- Ubisoft told AFP it will seek a rupture conventionnelle collective for eligible permanent staff at its Saint-Mandé headquarters on French contracts.
- The plan could cover up to 200 of about 1,100 HQ roles, roughly 5% of the company’s French workforce, and remains contingent on a collective agreement and regulatory validation.
- French unions say they will hold a coordinated strike from 10 to 12 February, citing job cuts and a push to reduce teleworking, with support from colleagues in Germany, Italy and Spain.
- The restructuring groups studios into five “maisons de créations,” centralizes technology, production, marketing and distribution, and shifts the headquarters toward a support role with a €200 million two‑year savings goal.
- Ubisoft has canceled six titles, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, and now projects an operating loss of about €1 billion for the fiscal year.
