Ubisoft Confirms Layoffs at Abu Dhabi Studio
Alongside the gameplay announcement, Ubisoft confirmed that 29 staff members were laid off from its Abu Dhabi studio. The company described the move as part of a broader restructuring strategy aimed at realigning resources and improving long-term efficiency.

A Mixed Moment for Ubisoft
The announcement reflects a contrasting moment for Ubisoft — continued investment in live-service content like The Division 2, while also navigating cost controls and organisational changes. In recent years, the company has faced mounting pressure to streamline operations amid shifting market conditions and rising development costs across the industry.
What’s Next for The Division 2
Despite the studio layoffs, Ubisoft reaffirmed its commitment to supporting The Division 2 with ongoing updates and new gameplay experiences. The upcoming realism mode signals that the publisher still sees long-term value in the franchise and its dedicated player base.
More details about the realism mode, including release timing and specific mechanics, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
