Marc-Alexis Côté, who once helmed Assassin’s Creed, has taken legal action against Ubisoft after what he describes as a sudden and disguised dismissal last year. Côté’s exit from the company caught many by surprise, given his deep involvement with one of Ubisoft’s most vital franchises. The details around his departure remain murky, but the lawsuit suggests tensions that go well beyond typical corporate reshuffles. Ubisoft has yet to comment publicly on the matter, and with such a high-profile figure now challenging the publisher in court, the situation is sure to draw attention not just within the industry but from fans of the long-running series.
