Assassin’s Creed Director Accused Of HARASSMENT…

Welcome Back to Gaming Spotlight. Work on the next Assassin’s Creed game has been rocked by Ubisoft hiring a creative director who was accused of harassment two years earlier. Ubisoft Quebec has come under fire for hiring Jonathan Dumont as its creative director on the next Assassin’s Creed game. Ubisoft recently announced a slew of new Assassin’s Creed games at its Ubisoft Forward presentation event. One of the announced titles, Assassin’s Creed codename Project Red, will be set in Japan. However, the lead director for that game is Mr Dumont, the creative director for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey who was accused of toxic workplace behaviour and harassment in 2020.

At the time, website Game Developer reported that a number of Ubisoft employees had come forward with allegations that Mr Dumont was “abusive and controlling.” Many anonymous workers in the report stated that he was verbally abusive, used offensive terms and homophobic slurs, punched walls and threw objects around the room. “He is very narcissistic and overall a major bully,” said an anonymous source. “[He] pushes people to the edge of their mental health regularly, and tries to justify his behaviour by saying ‘this is how you get things done.’ “[He makes] various misogynistic and homophobic comments, and when he’s called out on them will come out with defences like ‘my mother left my father when she realised she was a lesbian, so I know what I am talking about.’”It has since been reported by TheGamer that many developers have asked not to work on Assassin’s Creed Project Red because of Mr Dumont, and some are leaving Ubisoft altogether.
