And that is exactly what I have done for as long as I could.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Friday, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/ici.radio-canada.ca\/nouvelle\/2221328\/marc-alexis-cote-ubisoft-assassins-creed\" target=\"_blank\">Radio-Canada<\/a> reported that a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of Quebec claiming $1.3 million in damages (just under a million in US currency), including two years&#8217; salary and $75,000 in moral damages. The lawsuit argues (obtained via machine translation) that &#8220;Mr. C\u00f4t\u00e9&#8217;s influence would have crumbled since the creation of [Vantage Studios], which took charge of the Assassin&#8217;s Creed series, he who until then had received his orders directly from [CEO Yves] Guillemot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, he was to be made &#8220;head of production,&#8221; who would have answered to the &#8220;head of franchise,&#8221; a position that oversees development of Rainbow Six, Far Cry, and Assassin&#8217;s Creed. C\u00f4t\u00e9 wasn&#8217;t considered for the head of franchise role, as it was based in France rather than Quebec, so he felt his only options were the apparent demotion or unwilling resignation. Radio-Canada&#8217;s report states that C\u00f4t\u00e9 considered all this &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and constituted &#8220;constructive dismissal,&#8221; which if you&#8217;re unaware is when a resignation is considered involuntary because working conditions became hostile.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been consistent on that since October, when <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/marcalexis_the-past-24-hours-have-been-deeply-emotional-activity-7384672277055012864-87QR\/\" target=\"_blank\">he wrote<\/a> &#8220;I did not walk away. I stayed at my post until Ubisoft asked me to step aside&#8221; on LinkedIn. C\u00f4t\u00e9 had worked on the series since 2010, during the development of Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Brotherhood.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"ee5f4d91-e1a5-4da6-b7bb-998b9b4f0175\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/former-assassins-creed-franchise-boss-sues-ubisoft-for-nearly-1-million-alleging-constructive-dismissal.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"ee5f4d91-e1a5-4da6-b7bb-998b9b4f0175\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/former-assassins-creed-franchise-boss-sues-ubisoft-for-nearly-usd1-million-alleging-constructive-dismissal\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Assassin&#8217;s Creed boss Marc-Alexis C\u00f4t\u00e9 left Ubisoft just 7 months after the release of Shadows, one of the most successful games in the series&#8217; history.
