Hello everyone. After 25 years, 11 of which were spent working with Nintendo and an amazing community of players on Mario+Rabbids, I have decided to leave Ubisoft to embark on a new adventure. I can't talk about it yet, but I can't wait to share more. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me and accompanied me with Kingdom Battle, Donkey Kong Adventure, Sparks of Hope, The Tower of Doom, The Last Spark Hunter, and Rayman in the Phantom Show! Leaving part of my family at Ubi Milano was not an easy decision, nor a hasty one. Who would have thought that from a tiny meeting room on Viale Cassala, our historic office, a game involving Mario and Nintendo would emerge? We've seen it all in these 11 years, we can say that. But it was worth it. To quote The Swell Season: "You kick your ball, hoping that it goes to the end of your garden, because this is where your brother is ready to kick it back, but then the ball goes over the wall, over the river, over the next town, to a place you never imagined it would ever end." And I can't help but smile at the fact that my first game at Ubisoft, Rayman, was also my last.
I leave you with a series of photos representing some of my best memories, out of the 25 years since I started working in the video game industry, whether in Milan, London, or Montreal.
A huge hug to everyone. Thank you so much for everything! From the bottom of my heart.
