As of 2025, Ubisoft's Indian studios, including Pune, employ over 1,000 staff collectively, with a growing emphasis on machine learning applications to advance AI integration in video game development, including hiring specialists for optimizing production pipelines and AI behaviors. The studio also provides engineering support to Ubisoft Mumbai's mobile game projects, aiding in tool development for titles like those in the Hungry Shark series.

Ubisoft Shanghai

Ubisoft Shanghai, established in 1996, stands as the company's earliest studio in Asia and its primary hub for operations in the region. Initially focused on localizing and porting titles for the emerging Chinese market, the studio quickly expanded into full game development and strategic partnerships. By the early 2000s, it had taken on lead development roles for major franchises, contributing to Ubisoft's global portfolio while adapting content to regional preferences. The studio primarily manages publishing, co-development, and mobile game initiatives tailored to the Chinese market, leveraging its location in the world's largest gaming ecosystem. It fosters collaborations with local publishers and developers to distribute and localize Ubisoft titles, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and cultural nuances. In co-development, Shanghai teams support AAA projects by providing specialized assets, such as wildlife animations for open-world environments in series like Far Cry and Assassin's Creed. Its mobile division excels in free-to-play adaptations and live operations, optimizing games for high-engagement platforms dominant in China. Unlike the Chengdu studio, which specializes in technical porting, Shanghai emphasizes market-specific publishing and creative co-development. Notable contributions include the full development of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow in 2004, a critically acclaimed stealth title that showcased the studio's growing technical prowess. The team also co-developed elements for Just Dance and The Crew series, integrating mobile-friendly features and live service updates. Ongoing partnerships have been pivotal, particularly with Tencent; a 2018 agreement enabled Tencent to publish and operate Ubisoft's PC and mobile games in China, expanding reach to millions of players. This evolved in 2025 with the formation of a joint subsidiary valued at €4 billion, focused on advancing franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six through shared resources and market expertise. As of 2025, Ubisoft Shanghai employs over 400 staff, supporting both internal production and external collaborations amid China's dynamic gaming landscape and Ubisoft's global restructurings.

Ubisoft Singapore

Ubisoft Singapore Pte. Ltd. is a video game development studio owned by Ubisoft, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Fusionopolis, One-North, Singapore. As the largest AAA development studio in Southeast Asia, it has grown into a key player in the regional gaming ecosystem, employing a multicultural team of professionals from over 30 nationalities dedicated to creating high-quality interactive entertainment. The studio has made significant contributions to Ubisoft's flagship franchises, including substantial work on the Assassin's Creed series beginning with Assassin's Creed II in 2009, where it handled art production and other development tasks. It led the development of Skull & Bones, a naval combat game released in February 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, marking Singapore's first major AAA title from a local studio. Ubisoft Singapore specializes in innovative naval gameplay mechanics and advanced water simulation technology, enhancing immersion in open-world environments. In addition to core development, the studio supports live operations for games-as-a-service titles, ensuring ongoing player engagement through updates and community features. It maintains internal teams for production marketing and publishing to deliver promotional assets and manage title rollouts. Ubisoft Singapore collaborates with other global studios, such as Ubisoft Abu Dhabi, on shared projects to innovate gameplay experiences across regions. In 2023, the studio relocated to a new 33,000-square-foot office space designed to promote creativity and collaboration, featuring game-inspired elements and local cultural touches like Peranakan tiles.

Former

Sunflowers Interactive

Sunflowers Interactive Entertainment Software GmbH was established in 1993 in Heusenstamm, Germany, by founders Adi Boiko and Wilhelm Hamrozi, focusing on the development and publishing of strategy video games. The studio quickly gained recognition for its innovative real-time strategy titles, particularly the Anno series, which began with Anno 1602 (also known as 1602 A.D.) in 1998 and emphasized economic simulation and city-building mechanics in historical settings. Subsequent releases like Anno 1503 (2002) and Anno 1701 (2006) built on this foundation, with the franchise selling over 5 million units worldwide by 2007 and establishing Sunflowers as a key player in the German strategy game market. In April 2007, Ubisoft Entertainment SA announced the acquisition of Sunflowers Interactive, securing full ownership of the Anno intellectual property and a 30% stake in Related Designs, the developer behind recent Anno titles. The deal, valued but not publicly disclosed in financial terms, was completed in Ubisoft's fiscal year 2007-08 first quarter, integrating Sunflowers' assets into Ubisoft's portfolio to bolster its strategy game offerings. Other notable projects under Sunflowers included ParaWorld (2006), a dinosaur-themed real-time strategy game, and Knights of Honor (2004), which introduced medieval kingdom management gameplay. Following the acquisition, Sunflowers ceased independent operations as it was absorbed into Ubisoft's German development structure, marking the end of its status as a standalone subsidiary. This integration allowed Ubisoft to sustain and expand the Anno series, with subsequent entries like Anno 1404 (2009) reflecting the studio's foundational influence on resource management and multiplayer strategy elements, though developed by related teams such as Related Designs and Ubisoft Blue Byte. The move exemplified Ubisoft's strategy of consolidating European strategy expertise during its mid-2000s expansion.

Ubisoft Casablanca

Ubisoft Casablanca was established in April 1998 as Ubisoft's first studio in Africa, located in Casablanca, Morocco, initially focusing on support roles such as localization and porting for various platforms. Over its 18-year operation, the studio contributed to more than 26 titles, including narrative-driven projects like Valiant Hearts: The Great War, which explored World War I through an emotional, adventure-style storytelling approach. The team also supported the Assassin's Creed franchise with side projects and prototypes, notably assisting in the development of Assassin's Creed Chronicles, a 2.5D spin-off series that emphasized stealth and historical narratives in a more experimental format compared to mainline entries. This work highlighted the studio's role in prototyping innovative mechanics for Ubisoft's flagship series, often in collaboration with the Paris team. Facing economic pressures following the 2008 financial crisis, which led to a temporary campus closure in 2010, the studio shifted toward mobile and cross-platform support until its definitive shutdown on June 13, 2016, as part of Ubisoft's broader cost optimization and restructuring to enhance global studio efficiency. Approximately 48 employees were affected, with Ubisoft facilitating relocations to other studios, primarily in Europe. As Ubisoft's pioneering African outpost, Casablanca uniquely experimented with narrative elements in game design, fostering local talent in storytelling and contributing to the diversification of Ubisoft's international production model despite its eventual closure.

Ubisoft Leamington

Ubisoft Leamington was established in Leamington Spa, United Kingdom, following Ubisoft's acquisition of the independent studio FreeStyleGames from Activision on January 18, 2017. The studio, originally founded in 2002 by former employees of Codemasters and Rare, specialized in rhythm and music games prior to the acquisition, including titles like DJ Hero and Guitar Hero Live. Under Ubisoft, it transitioned to providing support on AAA projects, leveraging its expertise in gameplay mechanics and multiplayer features. The studio contributed to several high-profile Ubisoft titles in a supporting capacity, particularly focusing on tactical shooters and open-world experiences. Notably, Ubisoft Leamington provided development support for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, released in 2019, assisting with elements such as squad-based mechanics and post-launch content. Its work extended to other shooter-related projects, including contributions to The Division 2's live operations and Far Cry 5's multiplayer systems, emphasizing innovative combat and co-op features. These efforts aligned with Ubisoft's broader push into immersive, team-oriented gameplay in the shooter genre. In January 2025, Ubisoft announced the closure of Ubisoft Leamington as part of a company-wide restructuring to streamline operations and focus on high-potential projects amid financial challenges from underperforming titles like Skull and Bones and Star Wars Outlaws. The decision resulted in approximately 185 layoffs across Ubisoft's European studios, with a small number of Leamington staff retained temporarily for knowledge transfer. The studio officially ceased operations in April 2025, marking the end of its eight-year tenure under Ubisoft.

Ubisoft London

Ubisoft London was a mobile-focused subsidiary of Ubisoft, originally founded as Future Games of London in 2009 and acquired by the company in October 2013. The studio specialized in developing and publishing free-to-play mobile games, particularly the Hungry Shark series, which it managed and expanded during its tenure under Ubisoft. Renamed Ubisoft London in early 2023, it employed around 54 staff members dedicated to mobile production and operations. In addition to core development, the studio contributed to quality assurance and localization efforts for Ubisoft's European mobile portfolio, supporting the adaptation and testing of titles for regional markets. This included handling publishing logistics for Europe, ensuring compliance with local standards and efficient rollout of updates. As part of Ubisoft's broader UK presence, it complemented support functions at nearby studios like Reflections in Newcastle. The studio played a key role in the 2014 launch of Watch Dogs by providing ancillary mobile support and QA testing for related promotional content and ports. However, in September 2023, Ubisoft announced the closure of Ubisoft London as part of ongoing consolidation to streamline operations and enhance efficiency across its global network. The studio's functions, including ongoing management of the Hungry Shark series, were transferred to other Ubisoft teams, primarily in Europe, with some integration into Paris-based operations. This closure impacted 54 positions and marked the end of Ubisoft's dedicated mobile studio in London.

Ubisoft Osaka

Ubisoft Osaka, formerly known as Digital Kids, was acquired by Ubisoft in 2008 and operated as a development studio in Osaka, Japan, specializing in handheld games and ports targeted at Asian markets. The studio focused on creating content for Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Wii platforms, including titles like Petz Beach (2012) and Just Dance Kids 2014 (2013), which emphasized accessible, family-oriented gameplay suitable for portable devices. Over the years, it expanded to contribute to larger cross-studio projects, such as art and production support for South Park: The Fractured but Whole (2017) in collaboration with Ubisoft San Francisco. The studio's efforts in anime-style game development were limited but notable in prototyping visual elements for Asian-localized ports, drawing on Japan's animation heritage to adapt Western franchises for regional audiences. Representative examples include contributions to Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets (2015), which incorporated stylized, cartoonish designs with subtle anime influences in character animations and UI elements. These initiatives aimed to bridge cultural gaps in the Asian market, though the studio's output remained modest compared to Ubisoft's global teams. Its work briefly influenced anime-inspired porting techniques later adopted by Ubisoft Shanghai for mobile adaptations. In December 2024, Ubisoft announced the closure of its Osaka production studio as part of a broader restructuring following the cancellation of XDefiant, citing challenges in sustaining low-output teams amid profitability pressures in the free-to-play sector. The decision, along with the closures of San Francisco and ramp-down in Sydney, resulted in 277 layoffs across these sites, with 134 people departing from Osaka and Sydney combined. Prior to closure, Osaka had provided production assistance on high-profile releases like Assassin's Creed Shadows (2025), underscoring its role in backend support despite limited lead development credits.

Ubisoft San Francisco

Ubisoft San Francisco was established in 2009 as a development studio within Ubisoft's North American headquarters in San Francisco, California, USA. The studio focused on innovative game design, departing from Ubisoft's typical action-adventure franchises by emphasizing music-based and RPG experiences. It served as the lead developer for the Rocksmith series, which integrated real musical instruments with video games to teach players guitar skills through interactive gameplay. The studio's notable contributions included co-developing South Park: The Fractured But Whole (2017) alongside South Park Digital Studios and Ubisoft Osaka, an open-world RPG featuring turn-based combat and exploration of the fictional town of South Park with nonlinear quests and character customization. This project showcased the studio's expertise in blending humor, narrative depth, and player agency in a semi-open environment. Later, it led the development of the free-to-play shooter XDefiant (2024), which incorporated multiplayer modes inspired by Ubisoft franchises like Rainbow Six Siege. In December 2024, Ubisoft announced the closure of the San Francisco studio following the cancellation of XDefiant due to unprofitability, resulting in approximately 143 layoffs. Remaining staff were reassigned to other Ubisoft projects, primarily in Montreal. The studio's legacy lies in pioneering accessible music education through gaming and contributing to experimental RPG adaptations, influencing Ubisoft's approach to licensed IP integrations. Some technology from its projects was briefly referenced in collaborations with studios like Ivory Tower for driving simulations.

Ubisoft Sao Paulo

Ubisoft São Paulo was established as Ubisoft's first studio in South America, with its foundation announced on June 24, 2008, and official opening in July 2008 in São Paulo, Brazil. The studio began operations with a team of 20 developers, with plans to expand to 200 employees within four years, focusing on game development for platforms like the Nintendo Wii and DS. In late 2008, Ubisoft acquired the Brazilian developer Southlogic Studios, integrating it as a satellite studio under Ubisoft São Paulo to bolster local talent and production capabilities. The studio specialized in creating casual and family-oriented video games, contributing to Ubisoft's portfolio of accessible titles targeted at broader audiences. Notable developments included Petz: Hamsterz Superstarz (2009) for Nintendo DS, which allowed players to manage virtual hamsters in a talent show setting, Imagine: Detective (2009) for Nintendo DS, featuring puzzle-solving mechanics in a detective simulation, and Imagine: Party Planner (2010) for Nintendo DS, centered on event organization and social simulation. These projects emphasized lighthearted gameplay and were part of Ubisoft's "Imagine" and "Petz" series, leveraging the studio's regional expertise to support global releases. The team also provided support for other Ubisoft initiatives in the North, Central, and South American region. By late 2010, Ubisoft announced a strategic ramp-down of development activities at its Brazilian studios, including São Paulo, leading to the effective closure of the studio's production operations by the end of the calendar year. This decision was part of broader cost-management efforts amid shifting market priorities for casual gaming titles. Following the closure, Ubisoft maintained a presence in Brazil through publishing and administrative functions in São Paulo, but the original development entity ceased independent game production.

Ubisoft Zurich

Ubisoft Zurich was a development studio established by Ubisoft in August 2011 in Thalwil, near Zurich, Switzerland, with a focus on creating free-to-play (F2P) games emphasizing online and social gameplay elements. The studio, led by managing director Yann Le Tensorer, aimed to tap into Switzerland's pool of young game designers and academic resources to innovate in the F2P space, particularly for mobile platforms. It began hiring for an unannounced F2P project shortly after formation, seeking to contribute to the growing Swiss game development ecosystem. The studio's work centered on mobile F2P social games, aligning with Ubisoft's broader expansion into free-to-play ventures during the early 2010s. However, progress was limited, as the team of around 16 employees worked exclusively on a single, unannounced project. In October 2013, Ubisoft announced the cancellation of this project, leading to the studio's closure by the end of the month. The decision reflected strategic shifts in Ubisoft's F2P investments, with the affected staff reassigned or released as part of the restructuring.

Wolfpack Studios

Wolfpack Studios was an American video game development studio founded in 1999 in Austin, Texas, by a team of veterans from text-based multiplayer online games (MUDs). The studio specialized in creating massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) with a focus on player-driven persistent worlds and intense player-versus-player (PvP) combat mechanics. Its flagship title, Shadowbane, launched in March 2003 and distinguished itself through features like destructible environments, guild-based warfare, and minimal reliance on non-player character quests, emphasizing community interaction over traditional questing structures. Prior to its acquisition, Wolfpack Studios built a reputation for innovative online RPG design, drawing from the founders' deep experience in MUD development to craft immersive, evolving virtual worlds where player actions had lasting consequences. Shadowbane attracted a dedicated niche audience for its hardcore PvP focus and lack of automated recovery systems, which encouraged strategic alliances and rivalries among players. The game supported multiple realms with varying rulesets, allowing for diverse playstyles from role-playing to conquest-oriented gameplay. In March 2004, Ubisoft acquired Wolfpack Studios for an undisclosed amount, integrating the roughly 20-25 person team to bolster its multiplayer and online gaming expertise. At the time, the acquisition was seen as a strategic move to expand Ubisoft's presence in the growing MMORPG market, with the studio continuing to support Shadowbane and exploring new persistent world projects. However, internal challenges, including the need to align with Ubisoft's broader development strategy, led to shifts in focus. Wolfpack Studios was shut down by Ubisoft on May 15, 2006, as part of a restructuring effort to consolidate resources in larger, more established studios. The closure followed reports of project cancellations and layoffs, with the decision attributed to optimizing development efficiency amid the competitive online gaming landscape. Following the shutdown, key personnel from Wolfpack dispersed to other studios, including contributions to new MMORPG ventures like those at KingsIsle Entertainment, while Shadowbane continued operating under Ubisoft until its server closure in July 2009.

Ubisoft Halifax

Ubisoft Halifax was a mobile development studio located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It developed mobile games including Assassin's Creed Rebellion. The studio unionized in late December 2025, shortly before the closure announcement, though Ubisoft stated the decision predated the unionization and was unrelated. The studio was closed in January 2026, resulting in the layoff of 71 employees.
