Another high ranking member bites the dust.
Ubisoft’s ongoing investigation into workplace misconduct has claimed another head this week in the form of creative director Ashraf Ismail. According to an internal email obtained by Kotaku, Ismail was terminated following an investigation into misconduct.
Ismail has been accused of lying about his marital status and leveraging his status to engage in affairs. Ismail had previously announced that he would step down from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for personal reasons.
“Following an investigation by an external firm, it was determined that Ashraf’s employment with Ubisoft had to be terminated,” reads the subsequent company-wide message, a copy of which was obtained by Kotaku. “We cannot provide any details about this confidential investigation.”
Ashraf Ismail is another name added to the growing list of those being removed from Ubisoft, either voluntarily or involuntarily, over gross misconduct that had taken place over years but only truly came to light in recent months.
