Internal Communication Breakdown
Tom Henderson who works as an insider reported that Ubisoft management had not shared upcoming restructuring news with most of its employees. The planning process operated with extreme confidentiality because only a select group of top executives had access to its details. The organization chose this method because it wanted to restrict information access to only those people who had official security clearance.
Details of the Restructuring
Ubisoft announced its complete internal structural transformation on January 22. The company implemented several key operational changes which included.
- The six canceled projects which were still in production will not proceed.
- The company will terminate operations at two internal development studios.
- All operational divisions of the company will undergo a complete organizational restructure.
The 'Creative Houses' Model
The company currently operates five separate "creative houses" which function as its newly organized business divisions. Each house will take charge of creating and overseeing designated portions of Ubisoft's product range. These areas divide into segments which handle various project categories including major franchises such as Assassin's Creed and Far Cry and Rainbow Six and games-as-a-service and fantasy universes and casual titles.
