Ubisoft has confirmed that Clint Hocking, a Ubisoft veteran who was most recently the creative director on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, has left the company.
A spokesperson for Ubisoft told VGC that the company sincerely thanks Hocking for his “vision, creative contributions, and dedication over the years.”
“We wish him the very best in his next chapter,” Ubisoft added.
As for Codename Hexe, the game remains in development with a “seasoned team,” Ubisoft said. “The game will deliver something distinctive within the Assassin’s Creed franchise.”
Hocking is leaving Ubisoft in conjunction with Ubisoft installing new leaders for the Assassin’s Creed team at Vantage Studios, the subsidiary responsible for guiding Assassin’s Creed (and Far Cry and Rainbow Six) into the future. Jean Guesdon, the director of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Origins, is taking over as creative director on Codename Hexe.
Codename Hexe remains largely a mystery, but it’s been described as “a very different type of Assassin’s Creed.” The game is reportedly focused on witchcraft and the occult, and will allow players to possess a cat.
Hocking started at Ubisoft in 2001 and was the designer for the first Splinter Cell, and the director for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Far Cry 2. He left
