He better not touch my Assassin's creed

"Good morning, Mr. Bleszinski. The job, should you choose to accept it is to make a game unlike any other, a team of highly capable developers have been assigned as your team. Failure to do so and the secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. This phone will self-destruct in five seconds."

What a creepy way to get someone's attention,I think the guys at Ubisoft have been watching too many spy movies.

Just call the guy. The worst he can say is no.

As long as he gets his own IP to tinker with. He shouldn't be screwing with well established titles (i.e assassins creed, far cry etc) i don't want to be chainsawing a demonic unicorn in Far Cry 4.

If hes does get hired from Ubi i hope he gets started on his own IP. Don't want him turning ghost recon/splinter cell into GOW series.

"Now what indeed. Is Ubisoft trying to lure Cliff Bleszinski into the publisher’s fold?"

They're offering him a job. Ubisoft is a great publisher. Pretty successful too and is only growing.

I was under the impression Ubisoft don't like to recruit non-french speaking employees, just purely because they fit with the companies ethos better.

And you can tell Cliff is using his twitter as a bargaining chip. Playing all the companies off against each other so he gets some kind of astronomical fee ;)

I think Ubisoft would benefit greatly from Cliff coming in. I'd love to see that happen.

It sounds like some 007 James Bond stuff. You'll get a package with a phone, you'll know what to do from there.

i dunno why Cliff get so much hate, he did a very good job in Unreal Tournament, some great maps are credited to him too.

he is a all around great designer, can't vouch for him in the history department, but in gameplay and stage design he is very good.

and wasn't Gear that redefined the TPS genre? you guys can say what you will, but the cover system, when not abused, is very good.

What gamers don't get about Bleszinski and why companies want him working for them is that he's the most recognizable face of the industry. He's a public relations dream come true. Love him or hate him, people know who he is and pay attention to whatever it is he's doing.

Cliff Bleszinski + Ubisoft? This should be good :P
Wonder if it was really Unisoft, though.

In some alternate timeline.. Cliffy B and Jade Raymond would have really irritating children.

and have them start working on a new PS4/Vita scalable engine that would help benefit Teams looking to transition from PS3 to PS4 under sony's stable ease into development faster! with his expertise in middleware development he'd do well under Sony's stable or MS for that matter, but they already work with Epic a great deal. so i'm sure the Next Xbox will run the next Version of Unreal well

Ubisoft games are getting real good again, don't really want him in the mix. I rather see where they go, and keep innovating and staying away from the standard action game....

Last thing we need is Rainbow Six with huge arms and big pushed out chests....lol

ugh , out of all the places, why ubisoft. Please go somewhere else. What, youre gonna do Ghost Recon gears edition

Mediocre developers should join mediocre publishers.

Given how much it costs to make games and how long that takes, getting the games into the most gamers hands is not only best for all gamers, but studios and the industry.

"lead designer on the first three installments of the Gears of War franchise"

Any developer of a game old or new would be happy it's going to make more money.

August 26:
Gears of War on PlayStation
Helldivers 2 on Xbox
What a day to be a gamer!

Cliffy doing his best to be relevant and cool again.... sorry you Madde dumb decisions bro.

Yet, he was the one who bragged about it being exclusive, because he didn't like the PS3/Controller. Remember he used to attack people for asking if the game was coming to other platforms.

This guy is such a dork.

Hasn't been Xbox exclusive for a decade

Never thought I lived long enough to see this
