Tencent has reportedly shut down TiMi Montreal, the new studio led by long-time Assassin's Creed director Ashraf Ismail, without having released a single game.
Ismail made a name for himself by serving as the creative director on a host of beloved Ubisoft releases, including Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. After allegations of workplace impropriety and an internal investigation into misconduct, he was fired from Ubisoft in 2020 and later joined TiMi Montreal as creative director in 2022.
