Report: Ubisoft Executives and Marketing Wouldn’t Allow Female Leads to Exclusively Star in Assassin’s Creed



For the last few weeks, Ubisoft has sat at the center of attention for all the wrong reasons. Allegations of sexual abuse, harassment, and other forms of impropriety paint a horrid picture about the state of the things within the French company. Consequently, several executives and developers have been let go, with Ubisoft promising to restructure its editorial team. But it seems the publisher?s reported culture of misogyny found its way into a few games, too, most notably those in the Assassin?s Creed series.
A report from Bloomberg dives deeper into the claims, centering on accusations that the Guillemots, the family behind Ubisoft, too long mishandled allegations of abuse. Serge Hascoët, who recently resigned from his CCO post, was especially considered an untouchable fixture. His role allowed him to green light nearly every project that rolled out of Ubisoft?s doors. In turn, he held an executive authority only eclipsed by that of CEO Yves Guillemot.
