Ubisoft\u2019s mysterious Assassin\u2019s Creed Hexe<\/u><\/a> project seems to be going through a rough patch, as game director Benoit Richer has announced his departure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

An update on the latest for the history-hopping stealth franchise came from a LinkedIn post<\/u><\/a> published by the former Ubisoft Montreal developer. In his message, he stated that he left to join Quebec-based indie studio Servo Games as co-founder and game director.<\/p>\n

This is the second major departure for the Assassin\u2019s Creed game, which is in development with the Hexe codename, this year. The last saw creative director Clint Hocking exit the project<\/u><\/a> in February, with Assassin\u2019s Creed head of content Jean Guesdon filling the role in his place.<\/p>\n

Richer first joined Ubisoft Montreal back in 2000 as a level designer for games like Rainbow Six Vegas 2 before leaving the company for the first time in 2008. He eventually found his way to WB Games Montreal in 2010, where he served as game director on Batman: Arkham Origins, before returning to Ubisoft Montreal in 2017 to work on Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear who may fill Richer’s role at Ubisoft. IGN has reached out to Ubisoft for comment.<\/p>\n

In terms of official information, we don\u2019t know much about the Assassin\u2019s Creed Hexe project outside of a single logo. It was announced<\/u><\/a> in 2022 alongside Assassin\u2019s Creed Infinity<\/u><\/a> (now called Animus Hub<\/u><\/a>) and what eventually became Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/u><\/a>, with franchise vice executive producer Marc-Alexis C\u00f4t\u00e9 saying at the time that it would be a \u201cnew flagship title\u201d and \u201ca very different type of Assassin\u2019s Creed game.\u201d<\/p>\n
