Ubisoft poised to close Helsinki studio RedLynx, with 52 jobs at risk

Ubisoft has proposed closing RedLynx, the Helsinki studio behind the Trials series, putting up to 52 jobs at risk. GamesIndustry.biz reports that the plan is subject to a consultation process and was shared with staff today. RedLynx had been repositioning itself around mobile since last year, when Ubisoft proposed cutting up to 60 jobs as the studio shifted its focus to small-screen games. At the time, managing director Celine Pasula said the change would let RedLynx concentrate on technical excellence on mobile devices while building its cross-platform capabilities on small screens.
