New blow for Massive Entertainment which, shortly after being the victim of new layoffs, now loses one of the leaders of The Division 3.
Things are definitely moving a lot on the Massive Entertainment side in recent weeks, and in a rather unexpected way. Indeed, while the studio actively continues the development of The Division 3 and his other projects, it appears that movement is taking place in the teams, and not always in the best sense of the word. Because just a few days after learning that news wave of layoffs had affected the Ubisoft team, we now learn that one of its leaders is leaving the ship.

A project which will therefore ultimately end without him, while he leaves to put all of his skills at the service of the Battlefield Studios teams at Electronic Arts.

Many projects are approaching
A future which will then materialize through numerous projects currently in development.
