Tembe formed the “Inner Subcompany” with the son of the founder in charge of the core IP of the Assassin Letter.

Earlier this year, a $1.5 billion call was made to developers of the Assassin Letters to divest their most successful game series and establish an independent subsidiary. According to recent reports, the head of the North American studio, Christophe Derennes, and the son of Yves Guillemot, Charlie Guillermo, will be the pilot of the subsidiary.

It was announced that the two co-leaders would co-chair this unique new company, which would be responsible for branding the Assassin Letters, ” The Sorrow of the Island ” and ” Rainbow VI: The Curse ” . This, on the one hand, is to save the business of the parent company, which is in a difficult position; on the other hand, if the “mothership”, which is responsible for projects such as the nationwide blockade, “Dance to All”, and “Behavior to Good and Evil 2,” fails to successfully re-route, the subsidiary may be as independent as the “departure”.

Christopher Drenner, who had previously been in charge of the Beaby Montreal studio (which is one of the largest and largest development teams in the world), has long led the production of the Sunshine Scare Dog and the Assassin Letter series, together with the Poppy Quebec studio. Charlie Guillermo had previously led the Owlient studio, which had developed small mobile phone games such as “Tomcranci: The Elite Team” for Phoebe. He left his post in 2021 and joined the Al and Web3 games, Unagi, but returned to Phui earlier this year when the exchange took shape.

When asked about the challenge to the nepotism of his appointment, Charlie Guillermo said to Variety: “I fully understand where this challenge came from, and I would like to make a clear statement about it. Yes, I’m Yves’ son. I do not hide that. But my appointment comes not only from family relationships, but also from the current needs of maternity. Over the past decade, I have accumulated experience within and outside the company, leading teams, managing brands and responding to change in rapidly changing industries. I have consciously chosen to leave when appropriate to study and grow elsewhere.”

According to an internal memorandum published by Insider Gaming, Charlie Guillermo will be responsible for managing the game brand, including “brand game content, development orientation and development planning, marketing and business performance”. The Quest representative will serve as “top adviser” to the New Guinea company. This is the first entity to be known as the “Creative Industries” and will be the new architecture for the future of the company’s game of “Vaper-Synergy Development Processes”.

He was founded in 1986 by Yves Guillermo and his four brothers Christian, Claude, Gerard and Michel. The issuer, who has been subjected to hostile acquisition attempts and sexual harassment scandals, is still in the hands of the family. Early this month, Sergei Hascoët, a former chief creative officer, was sentenced to 18 months’ probation and a fine of $52,000 for alleged complicity in psychological and sexual harassment.

After postponing the release of a number of important new productions, including Al-Qaeda and Operation Ghost, the year of calm will follow. In addition to the upcoming launch of the Assassin Letter and its derivatives, Phoebe is also engaged in a desperate play-by-play focus. The first project will be a re-print of the well-received 2013 Assassin Letter 4: Black Flag.

At the same time, ongoing cost-cutting initiatives continue to empty some well-known studios under the Jubei flag, including the closure of the San Francisco studio and additional staff reductions by Red Storm Entertainment, the creator of the Tom Clancy series.
