Ubisoft, one of the leading video game publishers, recently made a change at the senior executive level. They have appointed a new boss for their Far Cry intellectual property (IP). The new head of the Far Cry IP is Ron Lagula, who is now tasked with expanding and evolving the Far Cry franchise.
Ron comes with over 20 years of video game industry experience, most notably as senior executive at Gearbox Software. His decisive leadership has resulted in numerous successful projects across multiple game genres. Ron’s expertise is expected to help further grow the Far Cry IP, while introducing innovative ideas to maintain its place as one of Ubisoft’s most successful game franchises.
Ubisoft has seen incredible success with the Far Cry series. It has sold over 55 million copies worldwide, with Far Cry 5 achieving the fastest-selling title in Ubisoft’s history. This puts Ron in a unique situation as he takes on the challenges of continuing to push Far Cry’s success.
Yves Guillemot, CEO and co-founder of Ubisoft, expressed his confidence in the new Far Cry IP boss:
“Ron Lagula’s passion for interactive entertainment and his impressive track record of managing complex projects makes him a perfect fit for this role,” he said. “We are confident that the Far Cry franchise will continue to be one of our most successful and beloved IPs with much more to come.”
The position of head of Far Cry IP has previously been filled by Fabrice Condomi, who moved on to oversee the development of Ubisoft Motion Pictures.
Ubisoft is continuing to show their commitment to the Far Cry franchise, as well as bringing experienced game developers into their senior executive ranks. With the new addition of Ron Lagula, Ubisoft hopes to continue to build on the success of the Far Cry series, while gradually introducing changes and innovations to the beloved IP.
