Eric Baptizat, a longtime Ubisoft developer and the game director for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, has departed the French company to instead join up with EA Motive.
Before his recent departure, Baptizat spent a total of 16 years at Ubisoft and worked on several games in the Assassin’s Creed series, including Black Flag and Origins.
His new role sees him as game director at the EA-owned studio on a yet-unannounced project.
Motive is also currently rumored to be working on a revival of a dormant EA IP that some suspect could be Dead Space.
