Playing as a ninja will be for. I'm glad they aren't going with a samurai since that's a bit over done now

A worker from the A Better Ubisoft initiative has told TheGamer that some developers at Ubisoft Quebec have asked not to work on Assassin's Creed Project Red because of creative director Jonathan Dumont. Dumont was accused of harassment in 2020, allegedly verbally abusing and making sexual advances toward his colleagues, particularly women and new starters.

The worker, who asked to remain anonymous, tells us that Dumont has been responsible for many developers leaving Ubisoft altogether, due to his alleged outbursts "creating a climate of fear."

"Dumont has been the reason [for] multiple of my colleagues leaving," the A Better Ubisoft member tells us. "Be it because of sexual advances, belittlement, fear of him, or having seen his behaviour when in a bad mood. His outbursts have created a climate of fear known for years in the studio and failed to be acted on for a long time."

The source also shares that while Dumont has made an effort to "improve himself", his alleged past actions "are still very fresh in the mind of many". As a result, "some in the Quebec studio have asked not to work on Red because of his position on the project."

As a group, A Better Ubisoft recently renewed its campaigning to address the alleged abuse within the company. Just before last week's Ubisoft Forward, they criticized the "painfully slow" progress being made to create a work environment that is safe and respectful. They state that they are aware of "nine alleged abusers still employed at Ubisoft today". As well as Dumont, Marc-Alexis Cote also remains at Ubisoft as the executive producer for the entire Assassin's Creed series. Cote has been accused of being aware of the abuse within the company, while "knowingly enabling that toxicity."

they missed the wave thinking they could drop an AC Japan whenever they felt like it as a get out of burnout free card...

Yeah, they waited until someone beat them to the punch for no reason. This is why Ubisoft is a garbage company.

Now they are basically starting with a Valhalla template while Tsushima will be greatly iterating on the first game

Official details on Assassin’s Creed Codename Red are still scarce, with Ubisoft so far revealing that the game is set in Feudal Japan and is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec. That said, a few more in-development details provided under anonymity to Insider Gaming reveal that the game could be one of the best yet, especially if you’re a fan of stealth.

Insider Gaming previously reported in February that Codename Red is already in ‘good shape’ and will feature two playable characters. New details provide more insight into the game’s characters though, with sources stating in Codename Red, there’s both a Samurai and Shinobi character. Details on how exactly these characters will be played are limited, but it’s understood that the short teaser officially released by Ubisoft features the game’s female samurai. The other character, the Shinobi, is understood to be an African refugee, who learned the way of the Creed.
