Division boss jumps to EA and Ubisoft says don't panic

Ubisoft just lost its Division boss to EA amidst endless corporate chaos. Julian Gerighty ditched Massive Entertainment to join Battlefield Studios despite management denying rumors from late last year. The official account confirmed this exit while insisting the franchise remains safe. Executives claim the team building the sequel stays committed to future projects like Resurgence and Survivors regardless of leadership changes.

Gerighty tweeted about hanging up his gear to start a fresh adventure. He stated the future looks bright for Agents. However, fans feel skeptical given recent history. The publisher fired fifty-five developers from the Massive and Stockholm locations recently. This occurred right before the executive walked away.

The Division 3 got announced three years ago without showing anything real since. The second game turns seven soon. Gamers desperate for a proper follow-up see little hope here. The corporation faces battles with labor unions like CWA Canada after closing the Halifax branch following a vote to organize.

They also cut staff in Abu Dhabi while restructuring under Vantage Studios. This mirrors how Assassin's Creed lead Marc-Alexis Côté exited earlier. Corporate spin tried framing that as a choice, but reports suggest he got pushed out. Losing veteran talent constantly paints a grim picture for these intellectual properties.
