"Many of you have expressed surprise that I would choose to leave Assassin's Creed after so many years, especially given the passion I still hold for it. The truth is simple: I did not make that choice."
"Ubisoft decided to transfer the leadership of the Assassin's Creed franchise to someone closer to its new organizational structure. A different position was mentioned, but it did not carry the same scope, mandate, or continuity with the work I had been entrusted with in recent years."
"I also owe it to my teams, past and present, to say this plainly: I did not walk away. I stayed at my post until Ubisoft asked me to step aside."
Marc-Alexis Côté did not voluntarily leave Ubisoft and was reassigned as part of organizational changes. Côté served as executive producer for Assassin's Creed since 2018 and oversaw four mainline games plus a VR title. His departure occurred on October 15 when Ubisoft transferred franchise leadership to someone aligned with its new structure. An alternate role was offered but lacked comparable scope, mandate, and continuity with his previous responsibilities. Côté expressed gratitude and no resentment, stating he remained at his post until asked to step aside. The change appears linked to the formation of Vantage Studios, partly owned by Tencent, which holds rights to major Ubisoft IP such as Assassin's Creed and Far Cry.
