The setbacks continue at Ubisoft. After accusations of harassment within the company, after the false hostage-taking last week, we learn that Hugues Ricour, director of Ubisoft Singapore, was dismissed from his post after an audit was carried out internally. In an email communicated to all employees, and on which our colleagues from Kotaku were able to get their hands on it, it is stated that following an inspection carried out by external firms, “the results do not allow Hugues Ricour to continue in his position.“The news was confirmed by Michael Beadle (Publishing Director) who, at the same time, clarified that Hugues Ricour remained an employee of Ubisoft.
We recall that his name was already among the managers accused of sexual harassment, knowing that he has worked at Ubisoft Singapore since 2009 and was appointed director in 2018. Moreover, when we talk about Ubisoft Singapore, we necessarily think of Skull & Bones which has been in development for ages now. You might as well say that even if other members of the executive will act in the interim (Director of Operations Matthew Thorpe, and Director of Human Resources Debbie Lee), there is a good chance that the project will know more. swirl.
