Ubisoft's Vantage Studios has announced a new leadership team for the Assassin's Creed franchise following the departure of Marc-Alexis Côté. Martin Schelling takes the helm as the new head, drawing from his extensive experience with titles like Black Flag, Origins, and Valhalla. He will be supported by Jean Guesdon as Head of Content, who has over a decade of experience with the series, including work on the original game. François de Billy will take on the role of Head of Production Excellence. This restructuring comes amidst discussions about the future direction of the Assassin's Creed series, including multiple upcoming titles, both single-player and multiplayer.

What are the upcoming Assassin's Creed titles?

Ubisoft has several projects in development, including Assassin's Creed Shadows, the witchcraft-themed Assassin's Creed: Hexe, and a multiplayer game titled Invictus. A remake of the iconic Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is also expected to be announced soon.

The Assassin’s Creed series, known for its engaging narratives interwoven with historical events, debuted in 2007 and has since expanded to include numerous mainline entries and spin-offs. It has gained a massive fanbase, making it one of Ubisoft's flagship franchises. The restructured leadership aims to enhance the franchise's direction amidst evolving gaming trends, ensuring that both new and returning players find rich gameplay experiences in future releases.
