Ubisoft is set to close two studios, RedLynx and Ubisoft Singapore, according to a report by VGC. RedLynx, the creators of the popular side-scrolling Trials arcade racing games, will see around 52 employees affected by the decision. The closure comes after Ubisoft laid off 52 RedLynx staff members in October 2025, instructing the studio to focus on mobile game projects.
RedLynx, based in Finland, has been around since 2000 and gained fame for their Trials series in the late noughties and early 2010s. Ubisoft acquired the studio in 2011.
Ubisoft Singapore, known for developing the controversial naval simulation game Skull and Bones, is also facing staff reductions of approximately 70 people. The closure of both studios follows a series of layoffs this summer and comes amidst strikes at another studio over work-from-home policies. RedLynx has recently worked on supporting Division 2 and Star Wars: Outlaws developers Massive, but it is unclear how many of the original Trials developers remain at the studio. Ubisoft Singapore's closure is expected to comply with local labor laws in Finland.
