Ubisoft Toronto, the studio in charge of the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake, has been hit with layoffs – although the publisher insists that the remake remains unaffected. 

Today, Ubisoft confirmed a new round of cost-cutting efforts, this time impacting its studio location in Toronto, Canada. Ubisoft is letting go of around 8% of its staff there, equalling around 40 employees.

In an internal email (via VGC), Ubisoft stated that despite the cuts, the Toronto studio will remain “a key contributor” to several co-development efforts, on top of its continued work on the Splinter Cell Remake, which unlike the Prince of Persia remake, has not been cancelled… for now at least.

Ubisoft Toronto is best known for its work on Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs: Legion, Splinter Cell Blacklist and the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake. The studio has also worked as a support studio on Star Wars Outlaws, Far Cry 5, Rainbow Six Siege and other projects.
