Ubisoft's recent company-wide reset has led to the cancellation of six games, studio closures, and a proposed 200 voluntary redundancies in France, prompting unions to vote for strikes. The move includes the scrapping of the long-delayed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake and a price increase for the Just Dance+ service. Shares fell 34 percent, marking the company's lowest value in 15 years.

The reset, announced earlier this week, involves delaying seven unspecified games, closing two studios, and scrapping titles like the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. The studio emphasized the sequel's fit within its open-world adventure strategy.
