In a surprising shake-up within Ubisoft, Clint Hocking, the creative force behind classic titles like Far Cry 2 and the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, has departed the company. This change marks a significant transition for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, which has seen its fair share of leadership adjustments in recent months.
Hocking’s exit was revealed in a report by Very Gary Computing, detailing that Ubisoft’s new leadership team for the series informed staff of his departure this week. The torch has officially been passed to Jean Guesdon, who has been appointed as the new head of content and will step into Hocking’s role as creative director for Hexe. Guesdon is no stranger to the series and brings his own experience and vision to this evolving narrative.
With Hocking’s history, including his influential work on Watch Dogs Legion and the beloved Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, his departure is certainly notable. Fans and industry observers will undoubtedly be watching closely as Guesdon takes up the mantle. The direction of Codename Hexe is shrouded in intrigue, and this leadership change adds another layer of interest as Ubisoft continues to redefine the future of its flagship franchise. The evolution of Assassin’s Creed has always been defined by its ability to adapt and innovate, and bringing fresh perspectives into pivotal roles could signal an exciting new chapter for players when the game finally arrives.
