Ubisoft has laid off 105 employees at Tom Clancy game studio Red Storm Entertainment as the developer will no longer develop games, according to a report from VideoGamesChronicle that claims Ubisoft made the announcement internally.

The studio will remain open, however, it will focus on global IT and support the Snowdrop engine. All game developers have been laid off.

Red Storm Entertainment was founded in 1996 by author Tom Clancy and is best known for its work on the Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon franchise. The studio most recently released 2023’s Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR. It was developing Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland until it was cancelled in May 2024. 

Recent Tom Clancy games were developed by other Ubisoft studios. This includes Massive Entertainment on The Division, Ubisoft Montreal on Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft Paris on Ghost Recon Wildlands, and Ubisoft Toronto on the Splinter Cell remake.

Red Storm did co-develop 2012’s Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, and supported development on 2016’s Tom Clancy’s The Division and multiple Far Cry games.

Ubisoft has been cutting costs by cancelling six games, delaying seven games, closing multiple studios, and laying off employees.
