Ubisoft Massive's managing director, David Polfeldt, has announced he'll be leaving the company. Having previously taken a sabbatical, the original plan was to see Polfeldt return to a new managing role, but that's no longer happening.

Ubisoft Massive Loses Star Wars and Avatar Director
For the unaware, Ubisoft Massive - otherwise known as Massive Entertainment - has worked on some of the French publisher's most prominent IP, namely The Division. Right now, its currently working on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, The Division Heartland, and an unnamed open-world Star Wars game.
