Eric Baptizat, game director of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, is returning to Ubisoft as game director for the Assassin’s Creed brand, Gadgets 360 reports. Baptizat previously served as lead game designer on Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
He will join Guesdon, Martin Schelling and François de Billy on the leadership team overseeing the franchise at Vantage Studios. The appointment adds an experienced Assassin’s Creed developer to the group managing the series, though Ubisoft has not disclosed further details about Baptizat’s responsibilities or upcoming projects in the report.
The easy narrative is that a returning Valhalla director guarantees a strong next Assassin’s Creed game. That is too much to infer from one appointment. Baptizat’s credits show familiarity with the series, but game quality also depends on the wider leadership team, development plans and execution. The useful test will be the next official announcement, especially its game director, release scope and evidence of finished gameplay.
