Ubisoft has reportedly introduced an "anti-harassment plan" aimed at protecting developers involved in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows from online abuse. According to a report by PCGamesN, an anonymous Ubisoft employee revealed to French news network BFMTV that the initiative is designed to discourage employees from publicly sharing their involvement with the game on social media.

The employee cited the comité social et économique, a labor group formed by Ubisoft Canada employees, as a key factor in the decision. "It's an initiative from Canada," the source stated, as translated by PCGamesN. "There's a team that monitors networks and acts quickly in the event of a targeted attack. Unlike what we've had before, this is serious."

As part of the initiative, a dedicated team will reportedly monitor social media activity related to the game and respond to any instances of harassment. Additionally, Ubisoft has legal measures in place, with lawyers prepared to take action against verified cases of online abuse.

In response to the report, a Ubisoft spokesperson reaffirmed the company’s commitment to employee safety. "Our stance has always been that team members' social media channels are their own," the spokesperson told PCGamesN. "Our top priority is the safety of our employees, including online, which is why, as a standard practice across Ubisoft, we offer guidance on navigating social media, digital safety, and support for team members' wellbeing."

The implementation of this anti-harassment plan follows previous controversies surrounding workplace culture at Ubisoft and reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to protect its staff from online threats and abuse.
