The firm revealed the news on LinkedIn, saying that it was "beyond grateful" to the developers that had worked at the studio over the years. 

"After many incredible years, we want to share the news that Ubisoft Leamington has officially closed its doors," Ubisoft wrote. 

"We are beyond grateful to our talented team, whose creativity, passion and dedication have left a lasting mark on the games we’ve created, the memories we’ve shared and the community we’ve built in Leamington."
