Starting from Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, Darby McDevitt stayed with the franchise for 10 years until Assassin’s Creed Valhalla as a narrative director. Darby was prominent and had a major role in the franchise’s success.
In a Twitter post, he broke this surprising and solemn news, but with a smiling note as now he’s moving on from Ubisoft for a new adventure.
He writes: “Today is my last day at Ubisoft Montreal! After a decade of working with brilliant people, creating stories & characters for an incredible series, & interacting with our wonderful fans, I have decided to set forth on a new adventure…”
Reason for leaving? Definitely not because of any issue or a fallout. It’s safe to say he wishes to experience new things. That’s why he’s leaving the franchise, which is understandable as he’s been here for the last 10 years.
