⚖️ Ubisoft Sexual Harassment Trial Begins in France

The long-simmering controversy surrounding Ubisoft is now in the spotlight as a major sexual harassment trial has officially begun in France. This landmark case sees several former Ubisoft employees testifying against current and former executives, alleging a culture of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation at one of the gaming industry’s biggest publishers.

🏛️ What’s at Stake

The trial, unfolding at the Nanterre Judicial Court, will examine:


Allegations of widespread sexual misconduct within Ubisoft’s French offices


Claims that leadership, including HR, failed to address or actively covered up complaints


Testimonies from employees spanning a decade of alleged abuse and retaliation


🗣️ Ubisoft’s Response

Ubisoft has maintained it’s “fully cooperating with French authorities” and has already implemented new HR policies and diversity initiatives in response to the 2020 allegations that first sparked global attention.

“We take these allegations very seriously and are committed to fostering a safe and inclusive workplace,” a spokesperson said.


However, the plaintiffs argue that Ubisoft’s actions came too late—and that deeper accountability is still needed.
