Overview
- Benoit Richer said on LinkedIn he has joined and co-founded indie studio Servo Games.
- Richer had been serving as game director on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, according to prior reporting.
- The move follows creative director Clint Hocking’s February exit, after which Ubisoft appointed series veteran Jean Guesdon to lead creative.
- Ubisoft has shared few details beyond calling Hexe a darker, narrative-driven entry set during a pivotal moment in history, and reports about a witch-trials setting remain unconfirmed.
- The shakeup lands as Ubisoft cuts staff and cancels projects, while it readies the Black Flag Resynced remake.
