According to a statement given to PC Gamer, Ubisoft Toronto stated that it will be laying off 33 employees in another round of layoffs. It notes that it is doing this to “deliver on its ambitious roadmap”. It was previously announced that the company would participate in the development of the recently revealed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. “Ubisoft Toronto has decided to conduct a targeted realignment to ensure it can deliver on its ambitious roadmap,” the representative said. “Unfortunately, this will impact the roles of 33 team members who will be leaving Ubisoft. We are committed to providing comprehensive support to them, including severance and career assistance, to help through this transition.”
