Massive Entertainment Now Leads Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division at Ubisoft - Insider Gaming

The division will be the main team in charge of The Division, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell, as well as some new IP like March of Giants. This new version of Massive, headed up by Christoph Hartmann as general manager, will include development teams based out of Montréal, Paris, Sweden, and Toronto. “Massive Entertainment has always been defined by passion, ambition and incredible talent, and our focus now is on what comes next,” said Hartmann in a statement.
