Supporting the Canadian video game ecosystem
Making games is difficult and presents a lot of challenges: financially, creatively, and more. Since launching the Ubisoft Indie Series in 2016, our studio has drawn on its extensive network and strong internal expertise to support local independent studios with creative, marketing and financial tools to help propel the development of their business.
Fostering long-term success and meaningful careers
Named as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for Young People, our studio is committed to supporting students and new grads through paid apprenticeships with Ubisoft Toronto NEXT, our mentorship program with Develop at Ubisoft, and our two-year career accelerator with the Ubisoft Graduate Program.
A mission of innovation
Acting as a bridge between academic research and video games production, La Forge combines Ubisoft’s assets and data with the expertise of university researchers to drive innovation forward in the video game industry, while contributing to solving real-world problems through scientific publications.
We care about our people and the planet
Making Meaningful Progress on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
For Ubisoft, putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do means providing an environment where employees can thrive, building open-minded communities where players can connect, and creating games that reflect the diversity of the world we live in.
Your Mental Health & Wellness in Balance
Our Livewell Team is committed to creating inclusive and accessible programs and initiatives that advance health and wellness knowledge among Ubisoft Toronto and help improve teams’ overall well-being.
Sustaining the Studio and our Planet
Reducing our environmental impact is a huge and complex challenge that requires collective thinking and effort. Our global action plan implements active contributions towards global carbon neutrality, as well as raises awareness among team members, partners and players, and encourages positive action for the climate and environment.
Our employee resource groups
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are built around shared identities to foster and advance inclusion within our workplace and games. They provide space to share experiences and exchange resources, network, and create communities across our studios and offices worldwide.
Our studio is committed to building a more inclusive workplace and is proud to be co-creating this alongside our ERGs.

Executive Statement
I’ve worked alongside many different people and teams to define who we are as a studio. We want to make games we’re proud of, and be proud of how we make them and who we make them with.
We’ve started that journey with the Splinter Cell Remake and our work on Far Cry. We’ve also continued to build on our values and reshape the culture of our studio – to make it an inclusive place where every person knows that they belong.
Ubisoft Toronto has always been known for its experimentation and boldness. We want to keep it that way. We have a creative, collaborative and fun team, and incredible projects underway.
We’re really excited and hope you’ll join us as we define our next chapter.
