EA crée un jeu de type Assassin's Creed

EA has snatched the woman behind Assassin’s Creed from Ubisoft in order to have him create an “Assassin’s Creed-style game” under its name.

Speaking at the UBS Global Technology Conference yesterday, CFO Blake Jorgensen revealed that ex-Ubisoft veteran Jade Raymond is leading the newly found EA Montreal studio to develop a “gigantic action game.”

“We’ve never really operated in the largest genre of gaming, and that’s the action genre,” admitted Jorgensen. “That’s the Assassin’s Creed-style games; more open-world, more single-play versus multiplayer. It’s not been an area that we’ve operated in. We recently hired Jade Raymond, who was behind the Assassin’s Creed franchise for Ubisoft and she will be building an action genre for us through a studio we’re building out in Montreal right now. So a lot of excitement around the action genre.”

Hopefully, this won’t be another open world game where you have to reveal the map bit-by-bit by climbing towers.
