Co-founder of 'Assassin's Creed' maker Ubisoft killed in plane crash

A plane crash in western France resulted in two fatalities, including Claude Guillemot, a 69-year-old co-founder of Ubisoft, a major video game developer known for titles like 'Assassin's Creed.' The incident occurred near La Baule when the twin-engine plane crashed into a field while approaching the local airfield. Authorities confirmed the crash and stated an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter was underway. Ubisoft expressed deep sorrow over Guillemot's death, noting his role as a co-founder who helped establish the company in 1986. The aircraft had departed from Rennes, where Guillemot resided, and he was reported to own the plane, though officials did not formally identify him as a victim. French officials, including junior minister Anne Le Henanff, acknowledged Guillemot's contributions to the video game industry.
