At Ubisoft, Ismail served as creative director for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, Assassin’s Creed Origins and the series’ most recent entry Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Ismail was let go from Ubisoft in August 2020, two months after stepping down from his role as creative director on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Former Assassin’s Creed creative director Ashraf Ismail has returned to the games industry with a new role at Tencent, two years after being fired by Ubisoft.
As first reported by Axios, Ismail now serves as a consulting creative director at Tencent’s TiMi Studios, in a Montreal office founded last summer.
