Malmö-studiet Massive Entertaiment er i fuld sving med udviklingen af The Division, men de er ikke alene om opgaven, skriver Develop. De får nemlig hjælp af Ubisofts Reflections-studie i Newcastle.
Reflections er mest kendte for Driver-serien, men har også bidraget til Far Cry 3, Just Dance-spillene, Watch Dogs og The Crew. Reflections-chefen Pauline Jacquey fortæller, at omkring 40 procent af studiets folk arbejder på The Division. Samtidigt slår hun fast, at det absolut ikke er noget krisetegn, at Massive får hjælp udefra:
"That's absolutely not the case This is part of a global model that Ubisoft has been deploying in the past seven or eight years.
"It's also classic team size management. You don't want your team to be too big when you're in the initial phase of conception, when you need a lot of agility. But when you're in full production - and given that the game's scope is gigantic - it needs a big team behind it."
