The weather is not the sunniest for everyone, Ubisoft sees one of its biggest personalities leaving the development of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

This is an episode that would have gone well Ubisoft. A few months before the release d’Assassin’s Creed Vallhala, the next episode of the franchise has just lost its artistic director Ashraf Ismail.

The man who also worked on the Origins and Black Flag episodes has himself decided to resign when he faces several charges.

This is the result of a conversation Ashraf recently had with a young woman on Twitter. Problem for him, the latter published their entire conversation and accused him of cheating on his wife.

After that the former director had written a message explaining his departure fromUbisoft and the Valhalla project. A publication quickly deleted, but which as often was captured before its disappearance in the tweetosphere.

I resign from my beloved project in order to take time to deal with personal problems. The lives of my family members and those dear to me have been shattered. I apologize to everyone who was injured in this story.

There are hundreds of talented and passionate people who do not deserve to be associated with this. I wish them the best.
