Ubisoft shuffles assassin's creed hexe team amid budget cuts

Ubisoft has confirmed that 50 staff members have been reassigned from Assassin's Creed Hexe, sparking concerns over potential job losses. According to Insider Gaming, the move is part of a cost-cutting measure to reduce Hexe's budget, potentially delaying its release from June 2027 to the end of next year.

Ubisoft defends shuffling, citing 'standard' game development procedure

In a statement to IGN, Ubisoft maintained that staff reassignments are a common part of game development, allowing teams to adapt to evolving project priorities. The company declined to provide further details on the reasoning behind the changes or whether any roles have been made redundant.

Assassin's Creed Hexe is not the next major release in the franchise, with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced set to launch in July. Ubisoft is also rumored to have another significant project in the works, possibly a new Ghost Recon game.
