In recent news, Ubisoft, the studio behind the outstanding Assassins Creed series, has recently announced that its Executive Director of Far Cry, Dan Hay, will be leaving the studio this week.
Dan Hay is reported to have been working on a live-service Far Cry game before his departure. And the studio has also announced that he will be ending his tenure at the studio this week – having worked there for over a decade.
“After more than 10 years at Ubisoft, Dan Hay has announced that he will be pursuing a new chapter in his professional life and he will be leaving on November 12,” reads the statement by Hay.
Ubisoft has also confirmed in a statement that Hay had not yet announced where he would be working next, and has thanked the executive for his many contributions over the years.
The studio also concluded by revealing that the brand team will now be led by Ubisoft Montreal Producer Sandra Warren on an interim basis.
Dan Hay was working on the studio’s next Far Cry game, which will be a live-service game similar to the reports surrounding the studio’s next Assassin’s Creed game.
In other news, Ubisoft also announced that it was working on Assassin’s Creed Infinity and the game is currently under development by a “cross studio, collaborative structure” made up of the development teams at Ubisoft Quebec and Montreal.
Though we don’t have much information about the new game in the AC franchise, the studio has released a statement. “Rather than continuing to pass the baton from game to game,” reads the statement, “we profoundly believe this is an opportunity for one of Ubisoft’s most beloved franchises to evolve in a more integrated and collaborative manner that’s less centered on studios and more focused on talent and leadership, no matter where they are within Ubisoft.”
