Bounding Into Comics: Amid a falling reputation and stock price, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has reportedly moved to assemble a “Transformation Committee” whose main goal it will be to both “guide the evolution” of the Assassin’s Creed studio and help them find a “new lease on life”.

Per an internal Ubisoft email reviewed by French news broadcaster BFM Tech & CO Nathan Cocquemopot, the ten-person committee, as hand-picked by CEO Yves Guillemot, will spend the next 100 days formulating the best ways to help the studio recover from their recent string of failures and chart a new direction for their future operations.

“We have just passed a monumental moment in Ubisoft’s history which, strengthened by this agreement and the success of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, will benefit from a new lease in life,” wrote Guillemot, as per a machine translation of his company-wide email provided by DeepL. “The future ahead demands a new energy and a passion for the games that corresponds to the current moment.”

Notably, one of the committee’s members is none other than Yves Guillemot’s son, Charlie Guillemot, who will co-lead the group alongside Ubisoft’s Chief Studios & Portfolio Officer Marie-Sophie de Waubert.

Having previously served as the Studio Manager for Ubisoft subsidiary, Howrse developer Owlient, Charlie exited the company in 2021 after his decision to approve the association of Black Lives Matter imagery with the villainous UMBRA faction in Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad drew massive blowback from the general public.
