Watch Dogs creator Jonathan Morin has joined NetEase Games.
Morin – who will “help lead NetEase Games Montreal to create a new IP, powering NetEase’s mission to become one of the biggest video game publishers in the world” – brings 24 years of “AAA” experience after having “played a key role in shaping the critically acclaimed Watch Dogs franchise at Ubisoft and vastly contributed to the Far Cry series”.
