Overview
- Ubisoft announced on Wednesday that Christoph Hartmann will serve as general manager of Creative House 2 and oversee its strategic direction and long-term portfolio.
- Creative House 2 groups Ubisoft teams that build competitive and cooperative shooters, including The Division, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell, under a single operational lead.
- March of Giants, the free-to-play MOBA Ubisoft acquired from Amazon, will join Creative House 2 to sit alongside the Tom Clancy franchises.
- Hartmann is a veteran executive who co-founded 2K Games, led its 2K label until 2017, and most recently ran Amazon Games before leaving earlier this year.
- The appointment furthers Ubisoft’s wider reorganization into five Creative Houses that give each unit ownership of major IP while the company pursues €200 million in savings and has carried out layoffs and studio closures.
