Maxime Beland ended his Ubisoft career back in 2019 after overseeing major titles across his 20-year employment. He worked on games such as Splinter Cell: Conviction and Blacklist as well as the original 2006 Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Far Cry 4, Far Cry 5, and Primal. He’s also credited as the co-founder of Ubisoft Toronto.

This reveal comes mere days after the major developer and publisher expressed its decision to restructure its editorial department. This being in a bid to make its games more varied and unique following the poor performance they had in 2019.
