Overview
- Ubisoft confirmed that Clint Hocking, creative director on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, has left the company after the change was shared internally this week.
- The publisher said development on Hexe continues with a seasoned team and is intended to deliver a distinctive entry in the series.
- Jean Guesdon, newly named head of content for Assassin’s Creed and former director of Black Flag and Origins, is now acting creative director on Hexe.
- The leadership change arrives during a broader company reset that shifted Assassin’s Creed under Vantage Studios and has included project cancellations, delays and studio closures.
- Announced in 2022 as a more horror‑tinged take linked to witch‑trial themes, Hexe has not been given a public release window.
