Ubisoft is ending development work at its Red Storm Entertainment studio, laying off 105 employees according to a GamesIndustry.biz report. While the studio will remain open, survivors will focus on the Snowdrop engine used in recent hits like *Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora* and *Star Wars Outlaws*. The studio, founded by Tom Clancy in 1996, was behind numerous *Ghost Recon* and *Rainbow Six* games and 2023's *Assassin's Creed Nexus VR*.

Red Storm had recently canceled an untitled *Splinter Cell VR* project and *The Division Heartland*.
