\n Shares of French video-game<\/a> giant Ubisoft tumbled Monday after three executives stepped down amid investigations of harassment and abuse.<\/p>\n

The maker of the \u201cAssassin\u2019s Creed\u201d series<\/a> saw its Paris-listed shares drop as much as 10 percent to 69.70 euros ($79.10) after it announced the departures Sunday of Chief Creative Officer Serge Hasco\u00ebt and Yannis Mallat, the managing director of Ubisoft\u2019s Canadian studios.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ubisoft is also looking to replace Global Head of HR C\u00e9cile Cornet, who has stepped down from her job but is still employed by the company, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company offered few details about what the executives may have done wrong. But a recent article in France\u2019s Lib\u00e9ration news<\/a>paper said Hasco\u00ebt was known for misogyny, homophobia and \u201clibidinous behavior,\u201d while Ubisoft said allegations against multiple employees in Canada made it \u201cimpossible\u201d for Mallat to stay in his job.<\/p>\n

The shakeup was part of a broader effort Ubisoft announced earlier this month to improve its workplace culture amid a reckoning over sexual harassment and other misconduct in the video game industry. That effort included a series of outside investigations into allegations against Ubisoft employees.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot will oversee an overhaul of how the company\u2019s creative teams collaborate while he fills in as Hasco\u00ebt\u2019s replacement, the company said, adding that it is also \u201crestructuring and strengthening\u201d its human resources office.<\/p>\n

\u201cUbisoft has fallen short in its obligation to guarantee a safe and inclusive workplace environment for its employees,\u201d Guillemot said in a statement. \u201cThis is unacceptable, as toxic behaviors are in direct contrast to values on which I have never compromised \u2014 and never will.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ubisoft started the probes amid a reckoning over sexual harassment, discrimination, abuse and other misconduct in the gaming industry. A Google spreadsheet created last month has compiled hundreds of allegations against gamers, developers, talent agents and other industry figures.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft put two other executives, Tommy Fran\u00e7ois and Maxime B\u00e9land, on leave last month as the outpouring of allegations continued, according to Bloomberg News. B\u00e9land has reportedly resigned.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
