In late 2018, Ubisoft Quebec welcomed ex-Dragon Age designer Mike Laidlaw to the team. It seemed nothing short of a big get for Ubisoft, particularly given Laidlaw?s impressive pedigree. After leaving BioWare in 2017, Laidlaw spent some time away from the AAA gaming industry. The former BioWare creative returned upon finding ?the right project.? It was publicly unknown what that meant at the time, but a new report claims Laidlaw and Ubisoft Quebec had their hearts set on crafting a King Arthur-centric adventure. Unfortunately, it didn?t get too far off the ground before receiving the axe from the publisher?s now-former Chief Content Officer, Serge Hascoët.
Current and former Ubisoft staff familiar with the cancelled project, codenamed Avalon, told Bloomberg?s Jason Schreier that Mike Laidlaw served as director of what would?ve been a role-playing game. King Arthur and the Round Table were to sit center-stage in a ?big-budget? fantasy world, replete with the stuff of legend. Within a year, Hascoët reportedly canned Avalon?a move that consequently resulted in Laidlaw?s departure from the company.
