After “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced” was officially launched, it not only received the best reputation of the series in recent years, but was also regarded by many players as one of the few truly successful works of Ubisoft in recent years. However, while players were busy celebrating and the media gave high praise, it was reported on the other side that the team involved in the development was about to be laid off, causing many people to say: “Ubisoft never disappoints.”
The game has just been released, but developers are starting to clear their desks
According to Kotaku, the Ubisoft Barcelona team responsible for assisting in the development of “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced” will face layoffs at the end of this month because it was not assigned to the next project. An employee who serves as QA Lead even lamented on LinkedIn: “I have worked at Ubisoft Barcelona for 7 years, and I never thought it would end this way.” This short sentence also expresses the helplessness of many developers.
Even if it succeeds, it will still be cut!
Ironically, “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced” has just achieved the best reviews of the series in recent years. It is also considered to be Ubisoft’s most successful remake in recent years, and the market response is quite impressive. As a result, just after the game was released, the development team faced news of layoffs, which made many players lament that in today’s game industry, even if they make a well-received and popular work, they may not be able to get a stable job for the developer.
