Marc-Alexis Côté, the lead of the Assassin's Creed franchise at Ubisoft, has left the company following the creation of Vantage Studios, a new Ubisoft/Tencent subsidiary responsible for future Assassin's Creed titles. Côté declined a new role at Vantage Studios, marking the end of his nearly two-decade career at Ubisoft, during which he significantly shaped the Assassin's Creed series. The studio was formed after Tencent's €1.16 billion investment in Ubisoft.
