Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment, the studio behind titles like The Division and Star Wars Outlaws, has announced a strategy aimed at shifting its focus towards a more organized project roadmap. In an effort to facilitate transitions within its teams, they’ve unveiled a voluntary career transition program designed to assist employees in making career changes on their own terms, complete with financial and career support.

Reports suggest this initiative is a preparation for potential staff reductions, as unsettling corporate jargon often masks the reality of layoffs. While the company insists it remains committed to ongoing projects, key changes hinted at might evoke concern among employees, especially when considering the competitive and tumultuous state of the gaming industry.

Massive isn’t the only Ubisoft studio facing changes; Ubisoft RedLynx has also put forth a restructuring proposal which could effect up to sixty job losses. This news arrives amidst a wave of layoffs sweeping through the gaming sector as studios adapt to shifting market demands and financial pressures in a radically evolving landscape.
