Hitman, The Division Alumni Come Together To Create New Studio Sharkmob
Fredrik Rundqvist, a producer on The Division, has broken away from Ubisoft Massive to form his own studio with other notable talent including developers who worked on Hitman. The company is called Sharkmob and is working on a multiplayer iteration on a "cult classic" game but wouldn't go into further detail.
"We're not really interested in making a more traditional single-player type of game," Rundqvist told Gameindustry.biz. "What we play privately, the kind of games we love, are very social, very competitive, always multiplayer. The more the merrier."
The studios' site is online and says the developer is looking for new recruits.

Our Take
It's always refreshing to see established talent set off on new ventures. We're curious to see what Sharkmob is bringing to the table.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
