Massive has made a name for itself as one of Ubisoft‘s most important game studios. The Malmo, Sweden-based studio has more than 800 people, and it’s working on two major games that were unveiled at the Ubisoft Forward event on Monday.

The games are Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, debuting on multiple platforms on December 7; and Star Wars: Outlaws, which is coming in 2024. Both games have separate teams at Massive, and the studio is getting help from the rest of Ubisoft as it goes into final production for the games.
