Overview
- Luc Couture announced on February 3 that it was his last day at Ubisoft Montreal, sharing the news in a LinkedIn post.
- Couture spent roughly 24 years at the company, contributing to Prince of Persia, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, and serving in senior level and world design roles across Assassin's Creed since the first game.
- He most recently worked as world level design director on Assassin's Creed Hexe, a forthcoming entry that has not been dated.
