Following Rayman creator Michel Ancel's abrupt resignation from Ubisoft earlier this month, the company has confirmed that he is under investigation regarding allegations of a toxic and hostile work environment.

"[Ubisoft CEO] Yves Guillemot committed back in July that any allegation will be investigated and no one will be outside of that process -- and this would include Michel Ancel," Ubisoft told GameSpot. "And as Michel confirmed to the journalist at Liberation, he is under investigation. The investigation is still ongoing and we have nothing further to share as we respect the confidentiality of this investigation."

Ancel was informed of the investigation in August and has not been in contact with Guillemot since then.
