CVG said:Far Cry 4's Alex Hutchinson is the latest key Ubisoft creative to have a personal game pitch greenlit for development.
The creative director, along with some of his previous Assassin's Creed staff, will form a team to work on "something new" now that their respective triple-A projects have been completed.
"I've got clearance along with a bunch of people from AC3 and AC4 to go off and do something new after [Far Cry 4]," Hutchinson told CVG in a recent interview.

Hutchinson's project came about via Ubisoft Montreal's internal entrepreneurial initiative, under which it encourages key creative staff to pitch new ideas when between projects.
Most notable of Ubisoft's new wave of 'personal projects' is Patrick Plourde's (Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed Broterhood) Child of Light, which has been successful enough to see its team permanently installed at Ubisoft Montreal.
Hutchinson was keen to stress that his own project faces further hurdles before it becomes public reality - including the stringent approval process of Ubisoft's Editorial Team.
However, the creative director revealed that - if all goes well - he's hopeful he'll be able to discuss the project further in the near future.
"There's different pressures on these sorts of projects, but at least at the moment we've got the OK from the studio to try something new," he said.
"Hopefully you're back in a year and I can show you. It won't be finished in a year, but the aim is [to show it]."

Basically, this'll be similar to how Child of Light was made.
