Lacoste has already planned all his next moves. Not even a day later, everyone knows where this incredible man is taking his talents to. Lacoste announced his next move in a separate tweet. After leaving Ubisoft, he is joining the new Haven Studios as an art director. Haven Studios is currently working with PlayStation on a brand new IP.
