They made those Trials games that I love.
Matthew Van ZantHOST
Oh, yeah, I remember reading about that.
Ralph PanebiancoHOST
Ubisoft are continuing to make big cuts at its studios amid its big restructure.
Ralph PanebiancoHOST
The company is proposing the closure of Red Lynx, the folks behind the excellent Trials series, 70 layoffs at Black Flag Resync developer Ubisoft Singapore, and about 100 people across its German studios who are responsible for their strategy series like Anno and The Settlers.
Ralph PanebiancoHOST
Meanwhile, Liquid Swords, the new studio set up by Christopher Sundberg, is closing after releasing the ill-fated action game Samson.

Yeah, so Ubisoft has continued to restructure, and two more studios are feeling the impact.
LeRon DawkinsHOST
The company has cut 70 positions at Ubisoft Singapore and proposed closing Red Lynx, the Finnish studio best known for the Trials series.
LeRon DawkinsHOST
The proposed closure would affect around 52 employees, though that process has not been finalized as of yet.
LeRon DawkinsHOST
For longtime gamers, Red Lynx is worth remembering.
LeRon DawkinsHOST
Its trials games turned motorcycle platforming into an addictive test of timing and precision.
LeRon DawkinsHOST
They offered something different from the industry's usual blockbuster adventures, and that kind of identity can be difficult to replace when a studio disappears.
Corey DirrigHOST
yeah.
Corey DirrigHOST
So, yeah, I don't know, man.
Chris ElogiHOST
So yeah, there you go for that.
Chris ElogiHOST
We got Ubisoft news and that they've closed one of their best studios, RedLynx, and are downsizing Ubisoft Singapore.
Chris ElogiHOST
I believe laying off about 70 jobs at Ubisoft Singapore.
Chris ElogiHOST
RedLynx is another good chunk of people.
Chris ElogiHOST
I think about 52.
Chris ElogiHOST
Mm-hmm.
Dan HHOST
So just a quick bit on any jobs this week.
Dan HHOST
So Ubisoft are proposing to close RedLynx.
Dan HHOST
So that's the finished Trials studio.
Dan HHOST
Have you played Trials? Never.
JoshHOST
And there's more.
JoshHOST
Ubisoft has also proposed closing RedLynx, the Finnish developer best known for the Trials series.
JoshHOST
That process involves consultation and isn't a finalized closure, but I've got a soft spot for Trials.
JoshHOST
Those games understood something that a lot of modern releases seem to have forgotten.
Don CasanovaPANELIST
whole bunch of amazing DLC.
Don CasanovaPANELIST
RedLynx was so amazing at integrating like fans into the community support, into the actual game content, like just like really involved with the community in a great way.
Don CasanovaPANELIST
And then just their level editors, like it's easily forgotten, but they were really some of the pioneers.
Don CasanovaPANELIST
It's like now almost every game, you know, every third game has a level editor included.
Don CasanovaPANELIST
That wasn't the case just like 10 years ago, something RedLynx really popularized this with like Trials HD and then perfected it with Evolution where you could just have this really deep level editor, but just accessible enough that it wasn't too overwhelming.
Don CasanovaPANELIST
But at the same time, you could literally do anything with it if you went deep enough into it.
Don CasanovaPANELIST
So and then just their community sharing features are top notch.
GaryHOST
But yeah, it's a bit of a crazy time of year, and also a crazy time of year for video games as well.
GaryHOST
Not much news this week, but I think it's because lots of stuff's coming out, so... um we'll do our best but we've got a pretty uh interesting pick of the week so more on that in a moment so first off in terms of news uh our top story is that ubisoft them that keep changing It proposes the closure of RedLynx and cuts to a Singapore studio.
GaryHOST
Ubisoft put forward proposals to close Helsinki-based RedLynx, known for the development of the Trials series, and has issued redundancy proceedings for 70 additional roles in Singapore.
GaryHOST
The proposed restructuring puts 52 roles at risk in Finland, following previous reductions across the publisher's global workforce.
GaryHOST
So we talked about this before, so this is Ubisoft yet again trimming more from their business.
David RichardsHOST
Ubisoft, up to 122, labeled.
David RichardsHOST
On Wednesday, Ubisoft proposed closing RedLynx, the Finnish studio behind Trials, with up to 52 positions subject to local negotiation, and cut 70 roles in Singapore to align the studio, it said, with upcoming production needs.
David RichardsHOST
The 52 are proposals under consultation and are counted as announced reductions, not departures.
David RichardsHOST
A separate proposal for about 100 voluntary departures across Ubisoft's German studios is confirmed only as a discussion with the Works Council and is carried, not counted.
