In its recent earnings report, Ubisoft noted that the €1.16 billion investment by Tencent will help power Vantage Studios' future.
Marc-Alexis Côté noted that he was asked by Ubisoft to step aside from his role owing to a new organisational structure at Vantage Studios.
Vantage Studios' internal memos indicated that Côté left because his goals did not align with those of other leadership.
Vantage Studios will bring together several developers from Ubisoft, and is being led by Charlie Guillemot and Christophe Derennes.
