Ubisoft Toronto was announced just under a year ago, and since then -- other than announcing that Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond is to lead it -- the studio has been quiet on its progress.
Today Ubisoft has announced that one of its flagship franchises, Splinter Cell, is to have its next installment produced entirely within the Toronto studio, with a second, unannounced title to be produced in co-production with Ubisoft Montreal.
Gamasutra was granted unprecedented access to the still-growing studio and its in-development workspace to discuss the studio's plans for its future, with input from the studio's core team including managing director Jade Raymond, senior producer Alex Parizeau, and head of the company's new Toronto-based extension of its Technology Group, Rima Brek.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
