Julian Gerighty, a key figure behind Ubisoft's The Division series, has moved on to EA's Battlefield Studios. This news comes hot on the heels of recent layoffs at Ubisoft, leaving fans wondering what's next for their favorite game. Ubisoft wants players to stay calm, saying the team behind The Division is still hard at work. They're focusing on The Division 2, its expansion, the mobile game, and the upcoming The Division 3. Gerighty himself thanked the community and expressed excitement for the future of The Division. But fans aren't so sure. Many are worried about the future of The Division 3, especially since it's been three years since its announcement and there's still no sign of the game. The Division 2 is also getting old, turning seven next year, and players have been waiting for a proper sequel for years.
Ubisoft isn't exactly having a great time right now. They're in a fight with a Canadian union after suddenly closing a studio, and they've also laid off staff in Abu Dhabi. The company is still trying to figure things out after setting up Vantage Studios. This isn't the first time a big name has left Ubisoft after layoffs. Last year, the head of the Assassin's Creed franchise also left, and it seemed like Ubisoft wanted to make it look like his choice, even though it wasn't. Looking at all this, it's hard not to be concerned about The Division's future. Gerighty was just one person, but when a company keeps losing key people, it's a red flag.
