The new pillars of the saga
The first to be cited as one of the main leaders of the saga Assassin’s Creed is none other than Martin Schellingwho will be the executive director of the license. Before becoming Chief Production Officer within the French company, he is known for his role as producer on several episodes of the saga, namely Revelations, Black Flag and finally Origins.
Jean Guesdon has been named content director on the brand, a role which will clearly allow him to lead the creative team of the saga. He also worked for a long time on the license Assassin’s Creedsince he has been there since the first episode, and held a creative director role on Black Flag And Origins.
Finally, François de Billy completes the trio by being the Director of Production Excellence. A funny job name for someone who will have to “ strengthen production practices and execution “. Here again, we find another veteran of the license, who was production director on Origins And Valhalla.
After announcing this new group at the head ofAssassin’s CreedUbisoft states:
“ Martin, Jean and François have worked closely on several flagship Assassin’s Creed games over the years, in the areas of creation, production and branding. Over the coming weeks, they will step down from their current roles to officially join the Assassin’s Creed leadership team alongside Andrée-Anne Boisvert, Producer of Assassin’s Creed Cross-Brand Initiatives and Head of Technology Excellence, and Lionel Hiller, Vice President of Launch and Marketing Strategy, where they will be responsible for leading the brand’s ambitious new chapter. »
To see what this new chapter will be like, you will have to wait until the announcement of the next game in the series, which should undoubtedly be Assassin’s Creed Hexe.
