Right now, Google Stadia is relying entirely on third-party support, but, long term, the plan is for the platform to have it’s own lineup of first-party exclusives. In order to achieve this, Google has founded Stadia Games & Entertainment, a new Montreal studio under the leadership of former Assassin’s Creed and EA Star Wars producer Jade Raymond. This studio is currently staffing up, and, surprise surprise, according to a report from VGC, Raymond is tapping numerous former Assassin’s Creed collaborators.

The new Stadia Games general director will be Sébastien Puel, who served as Assassin’s Creed executive producer for over a decade. The new head of first-party production is Francois Pelland, who was previously executive director of development at Ubisoft Quebec, which produced Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Last but not least, Mathieu Leduc joins Stadia as an art director, after contributing to the original Assassin’s Creed and both Watch Dogs games. So yeah, some solid talent, all with very similar resumes. It seems pretty clear what kind of game the new Stadia studio is working on.
