Julian Geraty, boss of Ubisoft’s The Division sequence, has left the corporate and joined Battlefield developer DICE.
Geraity confirmed his resignation in a social media put up only a week after showing on a online game showcase livestream selling The Division 3.
At New Sport+ Showcase 2026 earlier this month, Geraity stated: “So The Division 3 is within the works, proper? It is no secret. It has been introduced. It is shaping as much as be a monster. I can not say far more than that. However that is, inside these partitions of Large, we’re working very onerous on one thing that can have as massive an impression as The Division 1.”
He has since gone on to gush about different The Division tasks he has within the works at Large Leisure, and has now left for fellow Swedish studio DICE.
“It is time to dangle up my go bag (to retailer my watch) as a result of I am off on one other epic journey,” Geraity stated. “The way forward for The Division is brilliant and we won’t wait for everybody to see what every staff has been engaged on. Lengthy reside The Division and Godspeed!”
Two months in the past, Large Leisure launched a so-called “voluntary profession transition program” (wherein the studio requested workers to volunteer for layoffs) as a part of its concentrate on The Division sequence and its Snowdrop sport engine. This was achieved as a part of a serious reorganization at Ubisoft, which has seen a number of studio closures and layoffs. Star Wars Outlaws, launched by Large Leisure in 2024, was a serious gross sales disappointment for Ubisoft regardless of important improvement and advertising prices. Julian Geraity was the co-director of The Outlaws.
And earlier this week, Ubisoft introduced that it expects 55 jobs to be affected by layoffs at Large and fellow Swedish firm Ubisoft Stockholm, because the voluntary severance scheme didn’t entice as many resignations as wanted for Ubisoft’s headcount discount plan. Ubisoft introduced The Division 3 over two years in the past, however has but to point out off the sport.
In a social media put up, Large Leisure advised The Division followers to not fear about Geraity’s departure, saying the staff he constructed The Division with will stay.
