Maybe they could do other stuff now.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

What do they need him for when they have their precious Krabby Patty formula?

 

[SirKicksalot]

Yes now put Clint Hocking back in charge and also make a sequel to Primal.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Eh, they're a month after releasing the latest Far Cry game and there appears to be no massive fires to put out. This is probably the absolute least shocking time to leave a studio and move on to something else.

Like every professional, he finished his project and then leaves to do what he wants for the future. It's pretty normal in every job.

This franchise is dead since FC2! Same shite for 10 years non-stop ..., can not wait to play: Fart Dry 11 and Ass.Creep 42

 

[The Cockatrice]

Cool maybe he can make something fresh in the FPS genre where he wont be tied down by Ubisoft's garbage policy.

At last. After Far Cry 3 it’s been a downhill.

While I'm not exactly thrilled with every decision they've made for the franchise or the directions they've taken it recently, he did help shepherd the franchise to a new level of success. FC5, the title Hay served as creative director on, was the best and fastest selling entry in the franchise.

When I saw their creative director left I was shocked, I was unaware that role existed at Ubisoft lol
