Massive Entertainment gets Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell at Ubisoft
Ubisoft has expanded Massive Entertainment with Creative House 2 and, according to reports, placed Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell under the studio.
- According to reports, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell now fall under Massive Entertainment.
- Ubisoft also announced a new original game, March of Giants, while Christoph Hartmann becomes general manager of Massive Entertainment.
What happened
Ubisoft has once again adjusted its internal studio and brand structure, giving Massive Entertainment a broader role. According to the reporting, the studio is becoming a second major pillar within the company, with more studios and multiple game brands under the same umbrella.
As part of that restructuring, Ubisoft Creative House 2 has been merged into the expanded Massive Entertainment. The sources also say 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.
At the same time, Ubisoft announced a new original game from Massive Entertainment: March of Giants. No further details about genre, platforms, or a release date have been shared in the available information.
Christoph Hartmann, who was previously appointed general manager of Ubisoft Creative House 2 earlier in 2026, is now general manager of Massive Entertainment. The sources place this change in the broader context of Ubisoft’s ongoing restructuring, which previously also led to the creation of a new subsidiary, Vantage Studio.
