Massive Entertainment will be losing its head - David Polfeldt

Polfeldt initially planned only a six-month break, after which he was to "start a new adventure" at the studio owned by Ubisoft, but changed his mind and at the beginning of the year informed the publisher of his intention to leave.

1. David Polfeldt will not leave Massive Entertainment overnight. He will spend several more months at work, preparing the ground for the person who will replace him as head of the studio.
2. Polfeldt is a seasoned veteran, having spent seventeen years at Massive Entertainment. Most recently, he managed the teams responsible for Tom Clancy's The Division 2, the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Ubiosoft's yet-to-be-announced Star Wars game.
3. Previously Polfeldt helped with World in Conflict and managed the team responsible for the multiplayer mode in Far Cry 3.
4. In an interview with Hit Points the developer stated that he does not see himself as a good manager of the studio that Massive Entertainment has turned into. Unfortunately, he did not give any details.

David Polfeldt has spent seventeen years at Massive.

Ubisoft hasn't had a good streak recently. The company has been struggling with an exodus of employees and then there's the scandal related to employee discrimination.

These problems, however, mainly involve the publisher's Canadian studios. Until now, it has been quiet about any trouble in the Swedish branch of Massive Entertainment, so it is difficult to say whether things are bad in that team as well.

Recall that the latest game from the studio, namely Tom Clancy's The Division 2, debuted in March 2019 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The PC version is available only in Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store.
