Yoan Fanise spent 14 years at Ubisoft in France and Singapore.
He joined the company in 2001 to create the soundscape of Beyond Good & Evil, the legendary title directed by Michel Ancel.
In 2004, he collaborated with Peter Jackson’s team on King Kong, the official game of the movie. Two Years later, he was co-directing the famous Raving Rabbids and their wacky language.
He was then called to join Singapore studio to develop a whole new part for the Assassin’s Creed Brand: the Naval Battles.
After the commercial success of those titles, he was able to release one of the smallest, bravest games ever seen from a major publisher.
That game, Valiant Hearts, was both a war game and fiercely anti-war at the same time, a story not about conflict's heroics but about their tragedy and ultimate futility. It won many awards all around the world, including Baftas, VGA and Annie Awards.
In March 2015, he left Ubisoft to found Digixart Entertainment, a company dedicated to meaningful games. The first title Lost in Harmony launched at the beginning of 2016 is already a success with a community of more than 500 000 players.
