- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla director Eric Baptizat has returned to Ubisoft.
- He is taking on a Game Director role for the Assassin’s Creed brand.
- The developer previously worked on fan-favorite titles like Assassin’s Creed 4, Unity, and more.
Assassin’s Creed seems to be on a comeback streak following the launch of Black Flag Resynced. Public sentiment regarding the series is much better following this release, and Ubisoft is also bringing on legacy talent to help lead the franchise again.
Amid the excitement, the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla director has rejoined the series.
Why it matters: Ubisoft hiring legacy talent once again is a good sign, since the older Assassin’s Creed games were generally more successful than the recent ones. The series is also turning things around right now.
As shared on LinkedIn by the series’ Head of Content, Eric Baptizat, best known for directing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, has returned to Ubisoft to help lead the flagship franchise.
Baptizat is back at the company as Game Director for the Assassin’s Creed brand. The move is interesting since Valhalla remains one of the franchise’s most successful modern entries.
Moreover, Eric Baptizat previously worked on beloved Assassin’s Creed entries. He was among the most important designers on both Assassin’s Creed Black Flag and Unity. The developer also directed Dead Space Remake at EA not too long ago.
Before joining EA, Eric Baptizat worked at Ubisoft for 16 years. As a veteran of the studio, the director could prove to be a valuable asset to the team as it aims for the top of the open-world genre once again.
The developer’s experience with the past titles could also prove crucial on any future remakes Ubisoft decides to pursue.
