Ubisoft confirm job losses at Driver: San Francisco studio

Ubisoft has confirmed potential job losses at their studio – Reflections – which is currently developing Driver: San Francisco. The Ubisoft spokesperson did however clarify that Driver: San Fransisco will be completed in time.

“The brand is very important to us, and Reflections is crucial as a studio. They have an expertise that none of our other studios have,” he said.

The spokesperson told Develop, “there was a meeting to propose reorganisations to the team that may result in redundancies of up to a dozen studio members,” and that “this is a proposal for reorganisation, and it isn’t the people who are made redundant, but the jobs themselves. The people get to have their say about the reorganisation.”

The spokesperson also revealed that some contract workers will also likely be axed and so developers from Ubisoft Montréal might be brought in to help finish Driver: San Francisco.
