Former Ubisoft execs face trial in France this week on charges of 'moral and sexual harassment'

Serge Hascoët (R), former creative director of Ubisoft, speaks with his lawyer as he arrives for the trial of French video game publisher Ubisoft Entertainment former executives for harrasment and sexual assault at the courthouse in Bobigny, suburb of Paris, on June 2, 2025.

Trial begins this week at France's Bobigny Criminal Court for a trio of former Ubisoft executives, according to French news service Franceinfo (Google Translated). Former chief creative officer Serge Hascoët, former vice president of editorial and creative services Tommy François, and former game director Guillaume Patrux face allegations of "moral and sexual harassment" following reports of systemic workplace abuse at Ubisoft that emerged in 2020.

In hearings scheduled to last five days, Hascoët, François, and Guillaume will be tried based on the accusations of six women, three men, and two trade unions. The former executives deny all of the allegations.
