Ubisoft has elevated the creative director responsible for Assassin's Creed Origins and Black Flag to lead the franchise as part of a broader restructuring. The move places three long-serving franchise figures under a new Vantage Studios umbrella as the publisher reshapes its production and business operations.

  • The creative director best known for Origins and Black Flag will now head Assassin's Creed, signaling a return to veteran leadership for the series.
  • Ubisoft has grouped the franchise under Vantage Studios, a new organisational layer intended to centralise stewardship of Assassin's Creed going forward.
  • Three franchise veterans in total will oversee the IP under this arrangement, consolidating creative responsibility among experienced hands.
  • The announcement was reported by Variety alongside Ubisoft's own blog post, coming amid a notable company-wide shakeup of pipelines and business structure.
  • Observers are reading the appointments as both a strategic realignment and a public relations effort from Ubisoft during a period of intense scrutiny.
