Original story:As allegations of workplace abuse continue to roll in from over one hundred Ubisoft employees the Paris-based video game developer has announced that yet another round of executives have abandoned ship amid their own accusations.
The list of names has been updated to include chief creative officer Serge Hascoët, global head of HR Cécile Cornet, and managing director of Ubisoft Canada Yannis Mallat. According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Serge was the “man in charge of ALL of their games”. Serge also happened to be the center of attention for many recent allegations of abuse at the company. An investigation by French newspaper Liberation accused Serge of sexually assaulting employees, drugging co-workers, and making crude sexual comments toward female employees.
Whoaaaa Ubisoft just announced that Serge Hascoet, the most powerful creative force at their company and the man at the center of multiple recent allegations involving abuse and abating abusers, is resigning.

These resignations follow last month’s departure of creative director Maxime Béland as well as vice president Tommy Francois, marketer Andrien Gbinigie, and Ashraf Ismail who had been working as creative director on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Ubisoft has taken some criticism on social media for its plan to forge ahead with the Ubisoft Forward digital conference today (July 12) while the company’s executive structure burns to the ground with abuse allegations.
