Ubisoft Places Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and The Division under Massive Entertainment
, by Thibaut
The French publisher is continuing its reorganization after establishing no fewer than five creative houses to house its franchises. This week, Ubisoft made yet another change.
As a result, Creative House 2 has become Massive Entertainment and now oversees the Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and The Division. New intellectual properties such as March of Giants are also falling under this umbrella. The entity will have "clear responsibility for the development and long-term growth of its brands."
"Starting today, development teams responsible for these franchises in Montréal, Paris, Sweden, and Toronto will operate under the Massive Entertainment brand," the company said in a statement, "bringing together their creative and technology expertise to shape its future, grow these franchises and craft challenging experiences for dedicated player communities."
Massive Entertainment is led by Christoph Hartmann, a former Amazon Game Studios executive and founder of 2K Games, who joined Ubisoft last June.
