You’ve probably played something by Clint Hocking: he’s a massive name in games, and has been attached to some of the largest games in Ubisoft‘s history. The Canadian video game designer and director wrote Spliter Cell, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and Far Cry 2. He was also creative director on Watch Dogs Legion, and is co-creative director alongside Jonathan Dumont on the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Infinity..
He also coined the term ‘ludonarrative dissonance’ back in 2007, too, so you’ve got him to thank for that one.
Why the history lesson? Well, at Ubisoft Forward, the French publisher noted that Hocking will be heading up a brand new game in the Assassin’s Creed universe: Codename Hexe. The teaser basically makes it look like Assassin’s Creed: Blair Witch – there’s deep dark woods, a spooky wooden Assassin’s Creed symbol, and the promise of mystery.
