PARIS (AP) — A founder of global gaming company Ubisoft, maker of Assassin's Creed, was killed in a plane crash in western France, authorities said Saturday.
Claude Guillemot, co-founder of the company and president of the Guillemot Foundation, died in an accident, Ubisoft said in a statement to The Associated Press. It did not elaborate.
A Cessna plane carrying Guillemot and one other person crashed Friday evening in a field just before landing at La Baule Airport on the Atlantic coast, a La Baule airport official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be publicly named.
