Ancel took to Instagram to address the situation in a lengthy post, in which he claimed the allegations against him were &#8220;fake news.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will fight for the truth because such accusations are a shame,&#8221; Ancel says in the Instagram post. He went on to address the allegations against him point-by-point, including the alleged toxic management style, reports of indecisiveness, and reports that the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/beyond-good-and-evil-2-in-engine-demo\/\">2017\u00a0<em>Beyond Good and Evil\u00a0<\/em>E3 demo<\/a> was fake.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/assassins-creed-video-ubisoft-apology\/\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed Video Leads to Ubisoft Apology<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>An initial report published by French publication <em>Lib\u00e9ration<\/em>, later translated by Kotaku, alleged that Ancel&#8217;s mismanagement directly led to a toxic workplace environment during his time working on <em>Beyond Good and Evil 2.\u00a0<\/em>Later, Ubisoft confirmed that it had launched an investigation into Ancel&#8217;s behavior in the workplace.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/michel-ancel-beyond-good-evil-2-retires\/\">Ancel recently retired from the video game industry<\/a> to work at a wildlife sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>Ancel&#8217;s Instagram post also acted as a scathing indictment of the\u00a0<em>Lib\u00e9ration\u00a0<\/em>itself. Ancel says that &#8220;the news from [Lib\u00e9ration] contains fake [information] revealed by [a] few people who [want] to destroy me and the projects.&#8221; The former developer went on to claim that the technology used in the game demo was cutting-edge, in addition to refuting the allegations of toxic behavior.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFkrhX3KXu6\/\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>During his exit from the company, Ancel claimed his departure was not part of Ubisoft&#8217;s ongoing investigations into reported toxicity and sexual harassment throughout its many studios. The investigations have landed Ubisoft in increasingly hot water due to the outpouring of stories circulated by current and former Ubisoft employees. The ensuing investigations have seen a number of prominent Ubisoft developers depart from the company, such as former\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/assassins-creed-valhalla-creative-director-ashraf-ismail-fired-ubisoft\/\"><em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Valhalla<\/em>\u00a0Director Ashraf Ismail<\/a>, who was fired for attempting to engage in an extramarital affair with a fan.<\/p>\n<p>Ubisoft has not disclosed what actions will be taken against Ancel if the allegations are found to be credible, rather, the statement confirming the investigation simply stated that the investigation will &#8220;respect the confidentiality&#8221; of the matter. It&#8217;s still unclear precisely how far-reaching the investigations will span, and what actions Ubisoft will take against those that were complicit in any findings beyond firing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/ubisoft-ceo-apology-video-forward\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot issued an apology<\/a> to fans shortly before the September 10 Ubisoft Forward presentation, though the move was criticized for not being included in the presentation itself, which Ubisoft said was due to time concerns. Criticism against Ubisoft management, including Guillemot himself, has risen in wake of the reports, with some calling for the CEO to step down from his position.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ubisoft-workplace-toxicity-company-bonuses\/\">Ubisoft Combating Workplace Toxicity With Changes to Company Bonus Structure<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/report-beyond-good-evil-2-director-michel-ancel-left-1845184216\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kotaku<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Former Ubisoft developer Michael Ancel responds to allegations of creating a toxic workplace before his departure from the company.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Rayman Creator Michel Ancel Denies Reports of Ubisoft Investigation - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"Former Ubisoft developer Michael Ancel responds to allegations of creating a toxic workplace before his departure from the company."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84164"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/117"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84165,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84164\/revisions\/84165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
