Eric Baptizat is a veteran member of Ubisoft, notably of the Assassin’s Creed saga, where he directed the last opus, Valhalla, in addition to having participated in various Origins or Black Flag games. After this successful career, Eric decided to follow a new course, leaving the French developer. Your destiny? Pattern EA.
And like everything that connects EA to a month of EA Play, rumors have exploded. More if you take into account that these point to the return of a beloved IP from the hand of EA Motive.
EA Motive may have something big in store for July
Indeed, rumors and gossip link the arrival of Eric at the studio in charge of Star Wars: Squadrons with the development of a new Dead Space. It is true that the saga has been at a standstill for over a decade and after the closure of Visceral Games its future looked very bleak. However, the latest reports reveal that EA may be working on a reboot or reinvention of the franchise.
To do so, he reportedly gave EA Motive the reins of the project, which would premiere on July 22 as part of this year’s EA Play Live. Is this true and is Eric Baptizat engaged in this renaissance? Or is it something totally different?
