Gamesindustry.biz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2020-07-12-three-more-ubisoft-executives-step-down-over-toxic-culture\">reports<\/a> that, following a series of resignations and terminations at Ubisoft, three more executives have stepped down from their positions. The executives are Serge Hasco\u00ebt (chief creative officer), Yannis Mallat (the Canadian studios&#8217; managing director), and C\u00e9cile Corne (global head of HR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the spirit of toxic workplace cultures currently being challenged around the world, it has come to light that Ubisoft has been no exception. Over the last month, several allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment have been leveled at studio employees at different Ubisoft studio locations. Several have submitted resignations, have been terminated, or have been subjected to investigation regarding the claims. Some of the named employees are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ashraf Ismail, creative director on the upcoming <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Valhalla<\/em>. He stepped down after receiving allegations of deceiving partners about his marital status.<\/li><li>Maxime B\u00e9land, Ubisoft Toronto VP of editorial. He has been placed on leave pending investigation of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2020-06-29-ubisoft-reportedly-places-executives-on-leave-amid-abuse-investigation\">at least three claims of misconduct<\/a>.&#8221;<\/li><li>Tommy Fran\u00e7ois, Ubisoft Paris VP of editorial and creative services. He was also placed on leave pending a misconduct investigation.<\/li><li>Andrien Gbingie, Ubisoft product and brand manager. He has publicly denied accusations of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2020-06-24-ubisoft-and-insomniac-face-dozens-of-allegations-over-mistreatment-of-women\">manipulation, emotional abuse, and rape<\/a>.&#8221; (It is unclear if Gbingie is still currently employed by Ubisoft.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ubisoft released a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ubisoft.com\/en-us\/article\/2wGgGs6XFuumpcVxg9OvgM\/an-update-from-ubisoft?amp=1\">statement<\/a> in June regarding mounting allegations of workplace abuse and misconduct, saying they were bringing &#8220;specialized external consultants&#8221; to investigate these matters at the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;We want to start by apologizing to everyone affected by this \u2013 we are truly sorry.
