A spokesperson for the company said the cuts were due to "a realignment of production priorities" and noted that "these team members have the opportunity to consider positions in other Ubisoft studios,"

"Red Storm remains an integral part of Ubisoft's worldwide production team and will continue to work on the multiplayer component of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier."

"The decision was part of a plan to allow the studio to focus on its core expertise: developing innovative multiplayer experiences."
