The developers of The Division are restructuring, promising that the loot shooter will still continue

The developers of The Division have announced realignments of their teams. The focus will now be more on the loot shooter.

What does this realignment mean? Massive Entertainment, the developer studio behind games like Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and The Division 1 and 2, has stated that the teams of the studio are being realigned (via X).

The statement says: “As part of our ongoing development and long-term planning, we have recently realigned our teams and resources.”

The studio further states that it is now offering supportive options for employees to leave the studio for the next career step.

Developers promise full focus on The Division despite the realignment

What does this mean for The Division? Massive Entertainment did not provide details, but the developers’ focus remains on the “The Division” franchise as well as on technologies like Ubisoft Connect and Snowdrop that drive the studio’s games.

The realignment of teams and resources is intended to ensure this focus.

The developers specifically said about The Division:

“Massive Entertainment remains fully committed to our roadmap and to creating great experiences for players around the world, including The Division 2, The Division 2: Survivors, The Division Resurgence, and The Division 3. These projects will continue with strength, focus, and ambition, and we look forward to sharing more in the future.”

The studio may therefore increasingly focus on the “The Division” franchise in the future and work less on projects like Star Wars Outlaws or Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

What is behind the options to leave the studio? Massive Entertainment explains in the statement that they have introduced a “career transition program” to “responsibly support” the realignments of the teams.

The career transition program enables eligible team members to “take the next career step on their own terms.” Therefore, those who are not satisfied with the realignment of their teams or possibly their own area of responsibility could receive financial and professional support when leaving the studio.
