Head of Ubisoft Massive is Stepping Down - News

Ubisoft Massive managing director David Polfeldt is moving to a different role at Ubisoft, according to a blog post from the developer.

Polfeldt joined Massive in 2005 and was promoted to managing director in 2009 after it was acquired by Ubisoft. He will be stepping down on July 1 and will take a six month sabbatical, before returning to Ubisoft in a "new strategic role.

Massive is the developer for the The Division franchise, and the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and a new open-world Star Wars game.

"Seventeen years ago I joined a small Malmö-based indie-studio in a role that the founder defined as 'Mister FixIt.' Little did I know what a roller-coaster adventure it would become!" said David Polfeldt.  

"When we signed Star Wars, and finally completed our beautiful building Eden in 2020, I felt an overwhelming sense of completion, as if I had achieved everything I once dreamt of.  

"Standing on the solid foundation of The Division, Avatar, Snowdrop, and Ubisoft Connect, the studio is in fantastic shape, and I am exceptionally grateful for what we have accomplished together. Before I embark on a new adventure in Ubisoft, I will try something else which is new and exciting to me: a long break! Wish me luck, and see you in 2022."
