Ubisoft Reorganizes: Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon Join Massive Entertainment
Written with artificial intelligence.
Ubisoft is restructuring its brands, transferring the development of the Tom Clancy series Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon to Massive Entertainment, the studio behind The Division. This move aims to foster closer collaboration on future action and tactical titles.
Ubisoft's Strategic Reorganization
Ubisoft is undergoing a significant restructuring, consolidating several of its brands under a single umbrella. The division previously known as Creative House 2 will now operate under the established name Massive Entertainment, led by Christoph Hartmann, who previously worked at Amazon Game Studios. This Swedish studio will take charge of major franchises including Tom Clancy’s The Division, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell.
Collaborating Across Studios
In addition to its main office in Malmö, Sweden, Massive Entertainment will incorporate development teams from Ubisoft's locations in Paris, Montreal, and Toronto. The goal of this organizational change is to enhance collaboration in the development of upcoming action and tactical games. Alongside these well-known brands, the studio is also working on the announced project March of Giants and other undisclosed titles.
Impact on Ongoing Projects
This reorganization is part of a broader internal studio overhaul. While franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six will remain with the Joint Venture-led Vantage Studios, other brands are being distributed to specialized production units. Games developed under Massive Entertainment will continue to be owned by Ubisoft and distributed through the company. Current projects will not be affected, but the restructuring may increase the likelihood of a new Splinter Cell or a remake in the future.
