Jean Guesdon, creative director on Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Origins, has taken over as creative director on the upcoming codename Hexe, following the departure of Clint Hocking from Ubisoft. This follows the recent announcement that Guesdon was also appointed head of content for the Assassin's Creed brand earlier this week.
Hocking has had an on-again, off-again relationship with Ubisoft since 2001, starting work on Splinter Cell, before becoming creative director on Chaos Theory and Far Cry 2. He then left to work at LucasArts, Valve, and Amazon Game Studios, before returning to Ubisoft to creatively direct Watch Dogs Legion. He then moved from the Toronto to the Montréal offices to take on the same role on the witch-themed upcoming Assassin's Creed game.
