We thank Dan for his numerous contributions and wish him all the best.

To name just a few, the narrative director Darby McDevitt (Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, Revelations), the director Eric Baptizat (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) and the art director Raphael Lacoste (Assassin’s Creed Rogue, Origins) have also stepped down in recent months.
