Ubisoft submitted a statement to Eurogamer on the subject, detailing how the two teams will be separate, and how Massive is currently hiring new employees to help with the Avatar title so as not to disturb The Division’s ongoing support.
Ubisoft said:
The Division players have been worried for some time that Massive would walk away from the game upon the release of the third and final announced expansion, Last Stand. Some gamers have speculated that after a year of turmoil, the developer would call it quits and move on to its next project. For some, the announcement of Avatar was a confirmation of this fear.
However, it seems Ubisoft still has quite a few plans for The Division. While nothing has been announced for The Division’s second year yet, Ubisoft’s statement teased that information will be coming soon.
The Division players will be happy about this update from Ubisoft as it means there will hopefully be new content on the horizon for the game. Hopefully The Division will yet receive new areas, story missions, and activities.
Tom Clancy’s The Division is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
