As a long-time Assassin’s Creed fan, I was really sad to hear about Marc-Alexis moving on, but I totally understand. He’s been a huge part of making the series what it is today – his vision and leadership have really shaped the games we all love. I’m so thankful for everything he’s done for the franchise and the team, and I wish him all the best in whatever comes next. He definitely left his mark!
