- According to the reporting, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell now fall under Massive Entertainment, alongside The Division.
- Ubisoft also announced March of Giants as a new original game; Christoph Hartmann is general manager of Massive Entertainment.
What happened
Ubisoft has once again adjusted its internal studio and brand structure, giving Massive Entertainment broader responsibilities. In the reporting, the studio is presented as a second major pillar within the company, with multiple studios and several game brands under the same umbrella.
As part of that reorganization, Ubisoft Creative House 2 has been merged into the expanded Massive Entertainment. The available sources also state that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell now fall under Massive Entertainment, alongside existing Ubisoft brands already associated with the studio, such as The Division.
Ubisoft also unveiled a new original game from Massive Entertainment: March of Giants. Further details about the genre, platforms, or a release date have not yet been mentioned in the provided information.
Christoph Hartmann, who had previously been appointed general manager of Ubisoft Creative House 2 earlier in 2026, is now general manager of Massive Entertainment. The sources place that change in the broader context of Ubisoft’s ongoing restructuring, which previously also led to the creation of the new subsidiary Vantage Studio.
