(Reuters) - France's largest video game maker Ubisoft has decided to discontinue development on XDefiant, its free-to-play first-person shooter title, it said on Wednesday.
As a result, Ubisoft will close its San Francisco and Osaka production studios and ramp down production in Sydney, leading to a loss of 143 jobs in San Francisco and a likely reduction of 134 people in Osaka and Sydney.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
