Call me cynical if you like, but videogames are like superheroes: They&#8217;re never really dead.<\/p>\n<p>I feel a particular lack of <em>surprise-face<\/em> in the case of Far Cry. Rumors about the two Far Cry projects\u2014<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/ubisoft-rumored-to-be-working-on-multiplayer-far-cry-as-well-as-inevitable-far-cry-7\/\">the inevitable Far Cry 7, and a live service multiplayer venture<\/a>\u2014have been floating around for a few years now.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it&#8217;s nice to have it all officially confirmed and formalized in writing, I suppose, and Assassin&#8217;s Creed fans will no doubt be pleased to hear that an abundance of new games are on the way\u2014although even there, spinoffs are hardly a new thing for the AC series.<\/p>\n<p>And obvious or not, it&#8217;s understandable that Guillemot wants to make noise about all that Ubisoft has cooking. To put it bluntly, Ubisoft is in serious trouble, to the extent that it kicked off a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/prince-of-persia-the-sand-of-time-remake-is-cancelled-as-ubisoft-announces-major-internal-restructuring-and-more-layoffs-and-studio-closures-on-the-way\/\">major internal restructuring<\/a> in January that will see the company&#8217;s studios resorted into five &#8220;creative houses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That announcement, along with the layoffs, cancellations, and studio closures that followed, caused Ubisoft&#8217;s share price to crater to its <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/ubisoft-shares-plummet-to-lowest-price-in-over-14-years-amid-its-recently-announced-restructuring-centered-on-cancellations-layoffs-and-generative-ai\/\">lowest point in 15 years<\/a>. An infusion of Tencent funding has helped keep the lights on, but the company needs a more concrete path forward if it wants to keep shareholders from doing anything rash.<\/p>\n<p>The creative houses restructuring is a major step in that direction, but that hasn&#8217;t been without controversy either. The first creative house, Vantage Studios\u2014the only one with a name at this point\u2014will be responsible for handling Ubisoft&#8217;s biggest boys: Assassin&#8217;s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six, and coincidentally or not, it&#8217;s being co-headed by Guillemot&#8217;s son, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/after-leaving-ubisoft-to-launch-an-anime-avatar-ai-nft-startup-yves-guillemots-son-returns-to-take-charge-of-its-new-tencent-backed-assassins-creed-far-cry-and-rainbow-6-subsidiary\/\">Charlie Guillemot<\/a>. That particular development led to the departure of former Assassin&#8217;s Creed franchise boss Marc-Alexis C\u00f4t\u00e9, who said in October 2025 that he was <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/former-assassins-creed-boss-says-he-did-not-leave-voluntarily-i-stayed-at-my-post-until-ubisoft-asked-me-to-step-aside\/\">forced out<\/a> after refusing to take a reduced role at Vantage. C\u00f4t\u00e9, who played a highly visible leadership role on the successful Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows, subsequently <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/former-assassins-creed-franchise-boss-sues-ubisoft-for-nearly-usd1-million-alleging-constructive-dismissal\/\">sued Ubisoft<\/a> for just under $1 million.<\/p>\n<p>Yves Guillemot denied that nepotism played a role in Charlie&#8217;s ascendance, however. &#8220;Ubisoft was created as a family company, and our strong heritage helps us take a long-term view, prioritizing sustainable growth, creative ambition, and continuity over short-term cycles,&#8221; Guillemot said. &#8220;This perspective guides our decisions and helps us build franchises, teams, and strategies that endure for decades.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I strongly believe that Christophe Derennes and Charlie are the right leaders as Co-CEOs of Vantage Studios. They bring complementary strengths and experience that make them well-suited for the role. Their appointment was based on their skills, track record, and fit for the role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Derennes does indeed bring an impressive CV to the co-CEO role: He&#8217;s been with Ubisoft for more than 35 years, launched and headed up its Ubisoft Montreal studio, and has <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/person\/30506\/christophe-derennes\/credits\/\" target=\"_blank\">credits on dozens of games<\/a>. Charlie&#8217;s qualifications are somewhat less clear: Before being handed the reins on Ubisoft&#8217;s prime properties he served as studio manager and creative director on one Ubisoft mobile game\u2014the ill-fated Tom Clancy&#8217;s Elite Squad, for which Ubisoft was eventually <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/ubisoft-apologizes-for-using-a-raised-fist-to-represent-villains-in-a-mobile-game\/\">forced to apologize<\/a>\u2014and co-founded a Web3 gaming, AI, and NFT company called Unagi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"3ae160d0-a1eb-474d-b6ab-d71b3c358714\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ubisoft-ceo-confirms-new-assassins-creed-and-far-cry-games-are-coming-denies-that-putting-his-son-in-charge-of-them-was-nepotism.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"3ae160d0-a1eb-474d-b6ab-d71b3c358714\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/ubisoft-ceo-confirms-new-assassins-creed-and-far-cry-games-are-coming-denies-that-putting-his-son-in-charge-of-them-was-nepotism\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not sure this really needs to be said out loud, but Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said it out loud in a new interview with Variety and so we&#8217;re spreading the word: Yes, new Assassin&#8217;s Creed and Far Cry games are in development. &#8220;We have a solid pipeline underway across Vantage Studios,&#8221; Guilemot said. &#8220;Under the Assassin&#8217;s Creed brand, several titles are in development, spanning both single-player and multiplayer experiences, with the ambition to further grow a community that exceeded 30 million players last year. &#8220;On Far Cry, anticipation is high, and we currently have two very promising projects in development.&#8221; That a major game company is making new additions to two of its most successful and longest-running franchises is not exactly Earth-shattering news.
