Ubi Making Massive Work on “Light MMOs”

Famed strategy games developer Massive Entertainment was bought by Ubisoft in the past week, and with new ownership comes a new direction: “light MMOs.”

This comes straight from the horse’s mouth himself – Ubi president Yves Guillemot – who said: “They are going to help us to also get closer to the MMO space… in the future, we will come with RPGs and RTSes also in the MMO space."

Massive is best known for its work on critically acclaimed RTS title World in Conflict as well as Ground Control. The studio’s previous owner was Activision Blizzard, which sold the studio as it no longer fit with their future vision for the company.
