For over two decades, Côté worked at Ubisoft, most recently as Vice President and Executive Producer of the Assassin’s Creed series, a position he took on in March 2022. In October 2025, Ubisoft announced his departure, explaining he’d been offered a role at their new Vantage Studios – which would oversee Assassin’s Creed and other franchises – but that he declined. Vantage co-CEO Christophe Derennes expressed disappointment with this decision. Shortly after, Côté publicly disagreed with that account on LinkedIn, stating he hadn’t left voluntarily, but was asked to step down. He also emphasized he felt no ill will about the situation.
