As Ubisoft continues to face claims of workplace misconduct and sexism, more silenced workers are beginning to come forward with their own experiences. Now, the developer is even facing legal consequences, as a new lawsuit targeted at Ubisoft centering around its harassment and workplace toxicity approaches. However, the ensuing discussion around Ubisoft's discrimination is allowing the company's silenced victims to speak out.

One of the most recent victims to come forward is voice actress Victoria Atkin, who voiced Assassin's Creed Syndicate protagonist Evie Frye in 2015. In a recent Twitter statement, Atkin revealed that she had dealt with sexism during her time on the game.

After sharing a link to a Bloomberg article focusing on Ubisoft executives' responses to the recent allegations, Atkin expressed relief that the public now knew about Ubisoft's internal sexism. After admitting that she had faced some of this behavior, she "prayed" that the company would make "major changes" to prevent further instances of workplace abuse.

In one reply, Assassin's Creed Syndicate writer Ceri Young talked about how she enjoyed working with Atkin and how much she loved Atkins' performance. While Young apologized for how Ubisoft treated Atkin, she also implied how difficult it was to "bring... [Evie] into the world" due to Ubisoft's interference. Meanwhile, Atkin praised Young for writing "an amazing female character" despite the many obstacles the writer faced.

Although neither Atkin nor Young specified what "hurdles" Assassin's Creed staff faced while developing Evie, recent reports surrounding ex-Ubisoft CCO Serge Hascoët's refusal to allow Kassandra to be the sole protagonist in Assassin's Creed Odyssey seem to indicate what kind of opposition the character faced within Ubisoft. Thankfully, it appears that the creative staff is taking a more progressive approach to future Assassin's Creed games by allowing players to switch the gender of its character at any time in-game.

Hopefully, the recent string of allegations and any further consequences motivate developers to introduce sweeping reform to its corporate structure. While some victims have begun working to protect women in gaming, the video game industry itself needs to address these problems and protect its workers or face lasting consequences.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is now available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
