PlayerUnknown Productions has announced it has hired David Polfeldt as a senior advisor.
Polfeldt was managing director of Ubisofts Massive Entertainment for 12 years. He left the company earlier this year in March, as he felt that he wasnt “the right manager for what the studio has become”.
During his tenure at Massive Entertainment, Polfeldt worked on many of its leading titles and was part of the teams in charge of the delayed Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and a mysterious open-world Star Wars project.
