French gaming giant Ubisoft has unveiled a sweeping reorganization plan, marking a significant shift in the company's operational strategy. The move involves the closure of two studios, namely Ubisoft Winnipeg and Ubisoft Belgrade, with hundreds of employees facing layoffs across various locations.

The restructuring effort is part of Ubisoft's broader initiative to streamline its operations, minimize costs, and bolster its long-term prospects. This development comes on the heels of a tumultuous period for the company, which has seen multiple game cancellations, including the highly anticipated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake.
