　　Now Playing: Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Reveal Trailer | Ubisoft Forward E3 2021

　　"I am thrilled to join Massive Entertainment -- a Ubisoft Studio," Andrén says in a press release. "The studio has delivered groundbreaking games for players and has continuously been at the forefront of the entertainment industry. I am proud to join the teams behind these powerful gaming experiences and excited about what we will achieve together."

　　Andrén joins Massive Entertainment from Red Bee Media, an international broadcasting company and the largest access provider in Europe, where he is currently chief operating officer.

　　That experience will serve Andrén well, according to Virginie Haas, Ubisoft's chief studios operating officer.

　　"Thomas is a very accomplished leader and his extensive experience guiding operations, shaping strategic business and product development, and managing teams within the online services and media sectors will aid him greatly in guiding Massive's talented teams," Haas says.

　　Massive Entertainment has plenty going on right now. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora made its grand debut at E3 2021 with a trailer, and is slated for release in 2022. In addition to working on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the team is also in the early stages of collaborating with Disney and Lucasfilm games on a new game set in the Star Wars universe, one that will be open-world.
