"Vantage Studios said that Marc-Alexis Côté, who held the title of Vice President Executive Producer for Assassin's Creed since 2022, had been offered a leadership position at this new subsidiary, but he declined the role, IGN reports. The formation of the then-unnamed Vantage Studios was announced back in March. In an internal email to Ubisoft staff, Vantage Studios co-CEO Christophe Derennes expressed disappointment with Côté's decision, adding that Côté "had his own expectations and priorities related to Vantage Studios' creation and future.""
"Côté began his two-decade-long tenure at Ubisoft in 2005 as a software engineer, accumulating credits including Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and several Assassin's Creed games. He led the mission design for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood before acting as a game director for Assassin's Creed 3. Côté was also the creative director for Assassin's Creed Syndicate, and he led the development of Assassin's Creed Odyssey."
Marc-Alexis Côté has departed Ubisoft after declining a leadership position at Vantage Studios, the Tencent-backed subsidiary created to oversee Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six development. Vantage Studios' co-CEO Christophe Derennes communicated disappointment, noting Côté had distinct expectations and priorities regarding the studio's creation and future. Côté worked at Ubisoft since 2005, contributing to Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and multiple Assassin's Creed titles, including directing AC3 and leading Odyssey. Since 2022, Côté headed the franchise and drove the Animus Hub initiative; Assassin's Creed Shadows was the first title on that platform. Ubisoft offered public gratitude for his contributions.
