Assassin's Creed Valhalla game director Eric Baptizat recently switched from Ubisoft to EA Motive. The former Ubisoft is thought to have been hired to work on the new Dead Space.

Eric Baptizat had worked at Ubisoft for many years, eventually becoming the game director of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Before the change, in fact, Baptizat spent 16 years at Ubisoft working on the Assassin's Creed series, mainly on Black Flag and Origins.

According to Axios, Baptizat left Ubisoft a few months ago and has already started working at EA Motive in April. His new role sees him as game director of a project not yet announced.

The announcement, in fact, comes at a time of transition for EA Motive. Earlier this year, the studio is said to have undergone the cancellation of a project that had been in the works for over half a decade, but EA Motive is also rumored to be working on reviving a historic EA IP, which some suspect it may be Dead Space.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla Ubisoft, on the other hand, has to record a new high-profile release. Baptizat's decision follows those of Charlie Guillemot, Remi Pellerin and Alexandre Parizeau, as well as the misconduct layoffs of Tommy Francois and Ashraf Ismail.
