Ubisoft staff push back against Saudi dealings

Workers at Ubisoft have expressed concerns about the company's engagement with Saudi Arabia, particularly following a meeting between Ubisoft executives and Saudi leaders, including Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, in December 2024. This meeting coincided with the announcement of a new expansion for the game Assassin's Creed Mirage, set in AlUla, Saudi Arabia, which is financially supported by the Saudi government. Employees raised issues regarding Saudi Arabia's human rights record and questioned the implications of pursuing contracts with individuals accused of serious offenses, such as the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In response, Ubisoft's management stated that the involvement of executives in diplomatic efforts is aimed at enhancing France's global influence and promoting democratic values, while also framing their actions as part of cultivating France's 'soft power.' They concluded by stating, "We do not comment on rumors."
