Following the recent sexual misconduct and toxic culture allegations at Ubisoft, three of its executives - Chief Creative Officer Serge Hascoët, Ubisoft Canadian studios head Tannis Mallat, and Global Head of HR Cécile Cornet, have stepped down from their roles. As reported by GamesIndustry.Biz, these three stepped down "following the initiation of a rigorous review that the company initiated in response to recent allegations and accusations of misconduct and inappropriate behavior." Hascoët, according to a report in the French newspaper Liberation, was specifically named as "playing a central role in the company's culture problems, with one source saying the executive has 'the most toxic behavior in the whole business.'" Ubisoft's CEO and co-founder Yves Guillemot said in a statement that he is "committed to implementing profound changes across the company to improve and strengthen our workplace culture." "Ubisoft has fallen short in its obligation to guarantee a safe and inclusive workplace environment for its employees," said Ubisoft CEO and co-founder Yves Guillemot.
