Former Assassin’s Creed series lead Marc-Alexis CĂ´tĂ©’s departure from Ubisoft after 20 years in various roles was announced earlier this week, and the developer’s now put out a post in which he says that leaving wasn’t his choice. Instead, CĂ´tĂ© asserts that it came after he was asked to step aside as Assassin’s Creed boss by Ubisoft as part of a corporate restructure, then offered a reduced role as part of the company’s Tencent-backed Vantage Studios subsidiary.
