Ubisoft to Provide Housing & More to Ukrainian Staff

Ubisoft reported that after Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this week, it has provided its employees in the country with alternative housing, additional travel and relocation funds, and early salary payments.

Ubisoft has two studios in Ukraine: one in the country’s capital, Kiev, and the other in Odessa. The studios were working on accessibility on the Assassin’s Creed series, among other projects. The company previously said it would support employees at the studios, but declined to share details.

“Across Ubisoft, our hearts are with our teams in Ukraine, and we are providing them support and assistance as they navigate this difficult time. The safety and wellbeing of our teams and their families is our primary concern, and Ubisoft is fully mobilized to support them moving forward.

Over the past few months Ubisoft has been closely monitoring the situation and has put in place measures to help protect our teams. Last week, we recommended our employees take shelter in a place they consider safe. Ubisoft has provided all team members in Ukraine with additional funds to help them cover exceptional costs, such as those related to their travel and relocation, and has paid salaries in advance to account for any potential disruption to banking systems.

Ubisoft is providing housing in neighboring countries where teams and their families can take shelter if they wish and are able to do so. To ensure we stay closely connected with all teams, we have set up hotlines to respond to their questions and needs and have put in place an emergency communication system should infrastructures grow unstable. We will continue to adapt and reinforce our assistance as the situation evolves.”
