Assassin’s Creed: Unity Headed by Revelations Director

While we were somewhat bummed to hear that Assassin’s Creed III’s director would be heading up development for Far Cry 4, there is some slightly better news for Assassin’s Creed: Unity in that it will have Alexandre Amancio as its creative director.

Who is Amancio? He directed Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, the final chapter in the saga of Ezio Auditore of Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood fame. While not the best game of the three, Revelations was still a solid effort overall. Amancio had left Ubisoft after Revelations but is now back to direct Unity.

His involvement was leaked by Jade Raymond in a tweet (subsequently removed) and further digging by Game Informer on LinkedIn confirmed his role.

Assassin’s Creed: Unity will be out on PS4, Xbox One and PC in the Holiday season and is the first game in the series to launch exclusively for next-gen. It will be showcased at Ubisoft’s E3 media briefing.
