This follows the exit of the series creative director David Soliani, who announced in July he would "embark on a new adventure'. Nava spent "16 incredible years" at Ubisoft and now wants to write a "new chapter" but she's not ready to share any details yet.
Nava had also recently led the production of Ubisoft's new action-adventure game, Star Wars Outlaws.
Up until Soliani's departure, he had apparently been working with Nintendo on the Mario + Rabbids series for 11 years. Unfortunately, the second game didn't meet Ubisoft's sales expectations, with company CEO Yves Guillemot mentioning how they probably should have waited until the launch of the Switch successor.
