Overview
- Vantage Studios named Martin Schelling head of the Assassin’s Creed brand, Jean Guesdon head of content, and François de Billy head of production excellence.
- Ubisoft said the three will transition into their posts in the coming weeks and will join existing leaders Andrée‑Anne Boisvert and Lionel Hiller on the franchise team.
- CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that several Assassin’s Creed games—spanning single‑player and multiplayer—are in development, alongside two Far Cry projects.
- Vantage Studios now stewards Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six under Tencent funding and is led by co‑CEOs Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot.
- The leadership changes arrive during a company reset that has canceled projects, closed studios, and prompted French union strikes as Ubisoft targets €200 million in additional savings.
