Ubisoft has appointed former 2K president and co-founder Christoph Hartmann to lead its internal, shooter-centric division ‘Creative House 2.’<\/p>\n
The French publisher restructured around five internal ‘Creative Houses’ earlier this year<\/a>, each of which is dedicated to a unique collection of franchises and studios.\u00a0<\/p>\n Creative House 2 is primarily focused on competitive and cooperative shooter experiences and oversees notable brands including The Division, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell. It also houses internal studios such as Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Paris, and Ubisoft Toronto.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hartmann represents an experienced external hire for Ubisoft, with the veteran exec having previously served as Amazon Games vice president and Take-Two Interactive vice president of international marketing.<\/p>\n “For nearly four decades, Ubisoft has created some of the industry’s most iconic franchises and earned a reputation for building ambitious AAA experiences that have entertained millions of players around the world. It has long been a company I’ve admired for its creativity, the strength of its franchises, and, above all, the talented people behind them,” said Hartmann in a post on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n
