Rumor: Ubisoft staff told by security to hide and barricade after a threat at the Montreal office

Unconfirmed reports say Ubisoft staff were told by security to barricade and hide after a threat; Montreal police sent officers and reported no injuries.

Rumors point to something big happening at Ubisoft. The information is conflicting and should be treated as rumors for now… according to one report, armed men broke into the company’s building and took hostages, while another report says armed men entered the company and employees were instructed (by the company’s security team) to build barricades, silence their phones and stay hidden.

The official statement from the Montreal police, the city where Ubisoft is based, was:

Translation: “Officers were sent to the site after a 911 call. Specialized #SPVM officers are on site inspecting the premises. No injuries reported.”

Here we can see a video showing several employees on the company’s roof:
