Ubisoft open to idea of another one of its studios leading an Assassin’s Creed game

Ubisoft has involved a decent amount of its teams on the Assassin’s Creed games, but each has been led by the Montreal studio. While there are no imminent changes to that approach, there’s a possibility that a separate Ubisoft division could take the charge on a new entry in the series.
Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key expressed openness to having one of its groups – such as Ubisoft Toronto – handle the bulk of development on a future Assassin’s Creed:
“Never say never. Montreal has been the lead on every Assassin’s Creed, but that doesn’t mean they always will be. That’s still to be determined. But for sure, I could see it, of course, if there’s a scenario where it’s an established studio with a good track record. It’s a really important brand to us. We would have to have a lot of confidence to move the lead for that game to another studio. Jade [Raymond]’s team is obviously very experienced. They’re finishing up their first game now. They’re getting more and more people into the studio. So I could foresee a day when that studio could take that role. I don’t know if that’s in the cards or not.”
