Ubisoft is a Paris-based company with offices in several Canadian cities, including a significant operation in Montreal.

Yannis Mallat, the president of Ubisoft Canada, resigned Saturday evening with immediate effect, according to a statement from the game software developer.

Two other executives also resigned, according to the statement: chief creative officer Serge Hascoët and Cécile Cornet, who served as the company's global head of human relations.

The announcement comes in the wake of a series of allegations, made throughout the company, of sexist behaviour, abuse of power and harassment.

Earlier this week, the company said its Toronto-based vice-president of editorial, Maxime Beland, had resigned and another unidentified employee in Toronto was fired.
