Overview
- Ubisoft appointed Christoph Hartmann to lead Creative House 2, a change announced Wednesday that hands him responsibility for the unit's strategic direction and long‑term portfolio.
- Creative House 2 will oversee Tom Clancy franchises The Division, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell alongside March of Giants, the free‑to‑play MOBA Ubisoft bought from Amazon in December.
- Hartmann is an industry veteran who co‑founded 2K Games and ran Amazon Games before leaving earlier this year, bringing experience in both development and publishing to the role.
- The Creative Houses model makes each unit the primary steward of its IP while central teams provide business services, a restructuring Ubisoft introduced earlier in 2026 to concentrate franchise leadership.
- The appointment signals a push toward competitive, cooperative and live‑service shooter experiences and could shape future development priorities and resource allocation across Ubisoft's studios.
