Overview
- The restructure targets Massive Entertainment in Malmö and Ubisoft Stockholm, with affected staff to be approached through individual agreements in line with local regulations.
- Ubisoft told employees the changes are forward-looking and structural, not related to individual performance or recent deliveries.
- Massive remains the lead studio for The Division, with development continuing on The Division 3 and ongoing support for The Division 2.
- Both studios will retain central roles on the Snowdrop engine and Ubisoft Connect and are also working on an unannounced tech project, while Ubisoft Stockholm is reported to be building a new franchise using Ubisoft Scalar.
- The move follows last week’s closure of Ubisoft Halifax that cut 71 jobs and fits into a broader reorganization, including Creative Houses and the Tencent-backed Vantage Studios.
