A post on LinkedIn by
Antoine Henry from last month announces his departure from Ubisoft (thanks
VGC). Antoine was game director on
Skull & Bones, the seafaring game
in the works at Ubisoft Singapore. Development of Skull & Bones has reportedly
been troubled, and it was delayed again
earlier this
year following news
last year
that the project had been rebooted. Ubisoft quite famously has been embroiled in
a sexual harassment scandal that's resulted in some firings, including the
Managing Director of Ubisoft
Singapore. This has also prompted what's
described as a "great exodus" of unhappy
employees. There's no indication of whether Henry's departure is related to the
troubles with the game or the company, as he offers the following simple
goodbye:
Goodbye Ubisoft! After nearly 15 years, today was my last day.
I'm thankful for the people I've met and what they brought me professionally and
personally. Hopefully I was able to give back a little bit.
On to new exciting adventures very soon!
