At the time of Red Storm Entertainment’s gaming division’s closure, the team was working on approximately 10 projects at Ubisoft, including the hotly anticipated Splinter Cell Remake another game at Ubisoft that has had its issues and was said to be well over budget, according to people familiar.
One such release is the next mainline Ghost Recon game, codenamed OVR, set to take the franchise back to its roots as a first-person tactical shooter with a single-player and multiplayer component. According to sources familiar with Ubisoft’s plans, OVR is currently considered a “crucial release” for Ubisoft’s upcoming fiscal year, alongside the slated summer release of the yet-to-be-announced Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake.
Some employees were then asked the next day to return to their projects during the WARN period, who were mainly those working on OVR and a Watch Dogs Legion director’s cut.
