Over the past few months, Ubisoft has been monitoring the situation closely and putting measures in place to help protect our teams. Last week, we recommended that our employees take refuge in a place they consider safe.
Ubisoft provided all team members in Ukraine with additional funds to help cover exceptional costs, such as travel and relocation costs, and prepaid wages to account for any potential disruption to banking systems.
Ubisoft provides accommodation in neighboring countries where teams and their families can take refuge if they wish and are able to do so. To ensure that we remain in close contact with all teams, we have set up hotlines to answer their questions and needs and have put in place an emergency communication system in the event of an unstable infrastructure. We will continue to adapt and strengthen our assistance as the situation evolves.
Ukraine hosts, among others, the team of Stalker GSC Game World and the study of The Sinking City And Sherlock Holmes Frogwares, in addition to the producer of Suvarium Vostok Games.
