Assassin's Creed Producer Jade Raymond To Head Up Ubisoft TorontoUbisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed producer Jade Raymond will head up the publisher’s new Ubisoft Toronto studio when it opens its doors later this year.

Raymond is currently serving at the executive producer on Ubisoft Montreal’s eagerly awaited Assassin’s Creed II, as well as several of the projects. When she takes point for the Toronto studio, Raymond will be in charge of daily operations, while Ubisoft Montreal head Yannis Mallat will also serve as CEO of the new studio as well.

In a prepared statement, Mallat said of the move, "I’m excited to have Jade managing our Toronto studio. With more than 12 years of experience in the video game industry, Jade’s knowledge and leadership as an industry veteran are major assets in building the Toronto studio and expanding Ubisoft’s presence in Canada."

Ubisoft revealed plans to open its new studio back in July, at which time it also announced that it would be receiving a 10-year, $226 million investment from the government of Ontario, on top of the more than half a billion dollars Ubisoft itself plans to invest in the studio over that same period.

    Nice to see that Toronto's making some progress on the gaming front.

    I assume that having a heavy hitter like her on board means they're going to be doing some high profile work.

    i dont know why she got so much backlash after the release of the first assassins creed. i thought the game was amazing and she didnt deserve the reactions some people had towards her after its release. hopefully they realize they were wrong in what they said once assassins creed 2 comes out

    I bought AC and felt cheated out of at least half the price. I hope her next projects are better.

    I also think G4 thinks this is news since it is an alright looking woman.

    Yeah, stupid geeks who have no skill and hope of talking and making a lady, who is talented and super hot, feel unappreciated. Jade, ignore those hermit, pizza faced ingrates.

    She had quite a few interviews about the first Assassin's Creed. Surprised we didn't see more of her for this sequel, thats a shame.

    Damn!! She's hot!

    I remember seeing her on Electric playground, I only knew that she was a co-host.

    Now that I know she produced Assassins Creed, I'm so going to buy it!!!
