Overview
- Marc-Alexis Côté wrote on LinkedIn that he did not choose to leave and remained until Ubisoft asked him to step aside.
- A Ubisoft spokesperson told Wccftech that Côté was offered various leadership roles within Vantage Studios but declined.
- Ubisoft recently formed Vantage Studios, a Tencent-backed unit now overseeing Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six, led by Charlie Guillemot and Christophe Derennes.
- Côté said a different role was mentioned but that it lacked the scope, mandate and continuity of his recent responsibilities.
- Ubisoft previously told media he had chosen to pursue a new path outside the company, a characterization Côté disputes.
