SHADY AF: Ubisoft Just Got SUED for 1.3 MILLION Dollars...
By NewsHound ·
SmashJT breaks down Ubisoft's $1.3M lawsuit by former Assassin’s Creed boss.
The video from SmashJT examines a lawsuit filed against Ubisoft for more than $1.3 million by former Assassin’s Creed franchise head Marc‑Alexis Côté, who alleges constructive dismissal after the company described his departure as voluntary.
Côté says that after Tencent‑backed Vantage Studios was created to oversee Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six, his responsibilities were removed, he was offered reduced positions, and Ubisoft attempted to avoid severance while enforcing a non‑compete clause. He is seeking two years’ salary, moral damages, and the removal of the non‑compete restriction.
The filing underscores tensions surrounding Ubisoft’s recent restructuring and the role of Vantage Studios in its flagship franchises. The case may set a precedent for how non‑compete agreements are enforced in the industry.
