Our Mission
Ubisoft Toronto is a growing and diverse team on a collective mission to create what's next in AAA games. Whether as an elite spy, a master assassin, or a fearless explorer, we put the player at the heart of all our games. Since opening our studio in 2010, our team shipped the critically-acclaimed Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist as lead studio, and Assassin's Creed Unity and Far Cry 4 in collaboration with Ubisoft Montreal. In 2012, we opened our state-of-the-art Performance Capture Studio, and our Playtest Lab to help us make our games more immersive, and ultimately, more fun to play.

Our passion is to develop high quality, open world experiences and we're hard at work on several top-secret, unannounced projects. And when we ask our team what makes our studio special, the answer is always the people . Ubisoft Toronto is proud to be recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers for 2016.
