Ubisoft opens Stockholm office to plug into its studio-collaboration dev model

A new Ubisoft office is opening in Stockholm, and its lead is Patrick Bach, the former general manager of Electronic Arts’ DICE studio that makes games like the Star Wars shooter Battlefront.

Earlier this year, Ubisoft opened up two new offices in France and Germany, and it now has over 30 studios worldwide. It already put down roots in Sweden when it acquired Massive in 2008, the development house for the action role-playing game The Division. Its latest project is a game adaptation of Avatar in partnership with Fox Interactive and Lightstorm Entertainment. Ubisoft Stockholm and Massive will be working together on future projects.
