Following the open letter signed by around 500 current and former Ubisoft employees, who wanted to support their Activision Blizzard colleagues' struggle while pointing out their own company's shortcomings, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot replied with an internal e-mail shared on Twitter by Axios journalist Stephen Totilo. The reply reveals that a new update on the company's ongoing plans to revamp HR and D&I (Diversity & Inclusion) will be relayed at some point in the third quarter of 2021.

As many of you know, an open letter signed by current and former Ubisoft team members was published yesterday. For those of you who didn't see it you can find the article here along with our external statement. This letter expressed strong support for the developers at Activision Blizzard and advocated for large-scale change within our industry. It also raised concerns about Ubisoft and our culture. We reviewed this letter as a leadership team, and we take the issues it raises seriously. For this reason, I want to personally reiterate our commitment to creating real and lasting change at Ubisoft.
