Ubisoft Toronto Inc. is a Canadian video game developer and a subsidiary of Ubisoft based in Toronto, Ontario. The studio was announced on 6 July 2009, with the government of Ontario pledging $260 million to Ubisoft to create 800 new jobs in the Ontario region.[2] The studio studio location was confirmed on 4 December 2009.

Led by Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond, the studio developed Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist, the most recent instalment of the Splinter Cell series, in conjunction with Ubisoft Montreal. In November 2011, it was revealed that the studio would be supporting the development of the new Rainbow Six game.[3]

In July 2015, Ubisoft Toronto announced that they were developing a new AAA-level intellectual property (IP).[4] At Ubisoft's press conference at the June 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo, this IP was revealed to be Starlink: Battle for Atlas and action-adventure game with optional toys-to-life integration.[5] Due for late 2018, Starlink will be the first original IP developed by Ubisoft Toronto.[6]
