Journey Through Game Development

Jonathan Jacques-Belletête is a French-Canadian creative director and artist whose work has helped shape some of the most stylish and thought-provoking contemporary video games. After graduating from Dawson College in Montreal, he worked as a commercial illustrator before joining Ubisoft as an artist on the Far Cry, Prince of Persia and Assassin’s Creed series.

In 2007 he joined Eidos Montreal, where he helped reimagine the Deus Ex universe with the games Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, blending cyberpunk aesthetics with deeply human themes. Now, as creative director of Hell is Us, he’s led one of the most intriguing and mysterious projects in development—a game that promises to challenge how we think about conflict and identity.
