He has been with he company a little over a year, and previously worked onAssassin’s Creed Odyssey. Prior to Ubisoft, Laidlaw spend 15 years working at BioWare, working on theDragon Agefranchise as lead designer on Dragon Age 1, and then as creative director for later entries, as well as lead writer for BioWare’sJade Empire.
As for what Laidlaw was working up until his announcement is still rather unknown, only details share was that it’s a new project with Ubisoft Quebec, once described as “exciting enough to make me move half way across the continent”.
Currently the only known project at Ubisoft Quebec in the works isGods & Monsterswhich is an open-world action-adventure with a Zelda and Greek mythology influence set release on thenext generation of consoles. But with “underperformance” from titles such as Ghost Recon Breakpoint and the Division 2, this has pushed releases including Gods & Monsters.
Laidlaw has yet to share where he’ll be going next, but it looks like he will be taking time to decide.
Quick update from me!
Today (Jan 31st) is my last day with Ubisoft. Huge thanks to the talented and welcoming folks at Ubisoft Quebec City for my time there.
