And Eric Baptizat is working on that game that may be Dead Space...

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Director Eric Baptizat has left Ubisoft after 16 years of service in order to join EA Motive as game director on an as yet unannounced title.

Axios reports that reports that Baptizat actually left the company back in April of 2021.

Baptizat, who worked on Valhalla as well as Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed Origins, is likely working on EA Motive’s rumoured reboot of an existing IP. Further rumours this month suggest that game is none other than survival horror franchise Dead Space.

We’ll report back as more is known as to both Baptizat’s role and EA Motive’s next title.

EA Motive’s latest title is Star Wars Squadrons.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
