So you're telling me that they were ALREADY laying off people while producing Shadows? Oof... This is going to get so much worse.

Ubisoft has been laying off in multiple rounds since 2023. They created this cost cutting plan in 2023 with them stating they'll do this plan through FY2026.

Wasnt this studio closed months ago?

Plus they hired almost 10 000 people in past few years, so firing is expected
