Ubisoft "deeply disturbed" by damning reports of abuse at Assassin's Creed Shadows support studio


Ubisoft has responded to a damning report of mental and physical abuse at Indonesian support studio Brandoville.

The studio provided assistance to Ubisoft on the forthcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, though it closed in August last year, after which reports of abuse emerged. "We are deeply disturbed by the recent reports surrounding Brandoville Studios," an Ubisoft spokesperson told Eurogamer. This ranged from imposing a strict work schedule and daily Christian worship, to forcing an employee to write lines like a schoolchild, humiliating her in front of colleagues, and demanding a video of her slapping herself a hundred times as punishment.
