A rather peculiar news from Ubisoft. Apparently, after the layoffs a few days ago, it has now been confirmed that he plans to reinforce the staff dedicated to Assassin’s Creed.
Specifically, it seems that it plans to increase the number of employees dedicated to this franchise by 40% “to promote its ambitious expansion.” However, the number of workers has dropped from the 20,700 that there were in September 2022 to the 20,000 that there are now due to closures and layoffs.
NEWS: Ubisoft says it will increase the number of developers on the Assassin’s Creed franch ise by 40% “to fuel its ambitious expansion”
But company headcount is down from 20,700 in September to below 20,000 thanks to office closures, layoffs and “tight controls on recruitments”

This is in addition to some controversial comments from the head of the company, Yves Guillemot, who ended up on strike. We will be attentive in case something else is confirmed in this regard in relation to Ubisoft.
Via.
