Ubisoft Hires Outside Agency To Investigate Sexual Harassment Allegations

by Rainier on June 25, 2020 @ 3:19 p.m. PDT

The past few days Ubisoft has been hit hard by a slew of complaints from current/former employees with regards to a toxic work environment, rape allegations and other forms of sexual harassment, including the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla director just yesterday.

Ubisoft has issued the following statement:

Concerning recent allegations raised against certain Ubisoft team members: We want to start by apologizing to everyone affected by this – we are truly sorry. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and safe environment for our teams, players, and communities. It is clear we have fallen short of this in the past. We must do better.

We have started by launching investigations into the allegations with the support of specialized external consultants. Based on the outcomes, we are fully committed to taking any and all appropriate disciplinary action. As these investigations are ongoing, we can't comment further. We are also auditing our existing policies, processes, and systems to understand where these have broken down, and to ensure we can better prevent, detect, and punish inappropriate behavior.

We will be sharing additional measures that we are putting in place with our teams in the coming days. Our goal is to foster an environment that our employees, partners, and communities can be proud of –one that reflects our values and that is safe for everyone.
