A major lead in Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s The Division series has just left the company. Division series Creative Director Julian Gerighty has been leading up the series since it’s been around, and he looked set to lead another sequel. However, Ubisoft announced that Gerighty would be resigning from the group and leaving Ubisoft’s Division-developing Massive Entertainment studio to head for Electronic Arts’ Battlefield Studios.
Ubisoft announced Gerighty’s exit from the company on the Massive Entertainment social media this week. Gerighty had been active with Ubisoft and Massive up to this point, teasing that Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 was shaping up to be quite good. However, it looks like he won’t see it through. Gerighty is headed over to Battlefield Studios where he’ll join the Battlefield 6 team. It has not been specified what his role will be yet.
Once an Agent, always an Agent. We’re thankful for everything you gave this universe. You’ll always be part of it. Good luck at @EA_DICE, @jgerighty 🧡 pic.twitter.com/QlzuV4XtVV

Gerighty directed The Division through the first and second game, and all of their DLC, turning it into a highly popular looter shooter franchise for Ubisoft. Unfortunately, Ubisoft has been in a slump for quite some time, with people thinking the worst for the company when in late 2025, Ubisoft halted trade of its shares temporarily. Assassin’s Creed Shadows was a winner for the group last year, but the group has laid off developers and closed studios in what it called a restructuring last year.
Julian Gerighty’s exit marks another sign of trouble for Ubisoft, but given EA also lost the illustrious Vince Zampella to a tragic accident at the end of 2025, Battlefield Studios likely needs a lead with Gerighty’s track record to even try to fill the hole left behind. As we watch for what comes next, stay tuned to the Ubisoft and Battlefield Studios topics.
