Ubisoft Appoints Three Assassin's Creed Veterans to Oversee the Franchise at Newly Formed Vantage Studios

Martin Schelling, Jean Guesdon, and François de Billy will lead Assassin's Creed under Ubisoft's Vantage Studios to strengthen production and align with new creative goals.

  • Vantage Studios announced that Martin Schelling, Jean Guesdon, and François de Billy were appointed to lead the Assassin's Creed franchise in a new leadership team, as confirmed by the Ubisoft subsidiary today.
  • As part of a larger restructure, Ubisoft is dividing teams into five creative houses, a model driven by CEO Yves Guillemot amid weak post-pandemic performance.
  • Martin Schelling will lead overall strategy and vision after senior roles on Revelations, Black Flag, Origins and Valhalla, recently serving as Chief Production Officer.
  • A legal dispute has emerged as Côté claims he was replaced last October by Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot, while Ubisoft told staff via an internal email leadership must be 'aligned' with core goals.
  • Several Assassin's Creed projects are already underway, including Shadows, Hexe, and Invictus, with a Black Flag remake widely expected soon, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reaffirmed last week.
