Ubisoft has cut 45 staff across two of its North American studios, as part of its third round of redundancies so far this year.
The company has laid off workers at both Ubisoft San Francisco, the developer of XDefiant, and Red Storm Entertainment, which had been working on the now-cancelled The Division: Heartland live service game.
“Last week Ubisoft San Francisco and Red Storm Entertainment informed their teams of a restructuring that will result in 45 employees leaving Ubisoft,” a spokesperson confirmed in a statement to Eurogamer.
