Ubisoft vet Alexandre Parizeau joins Amazon Games’ Montreal studio

Amazon Games announced today that Alexandre Parizeau will lead development at the company’s new Montreal studio. He’ll be overseeing the creation of a new competitive multiplayer game.

Parizeau has over 20 years of experience in games, including serving as senior producer for titles like Splinter Cell: Conviction and Rainbow Six: Vegas while at Ubisoft. He was Ubisoft Toronto’s managing director until leaving the company back in February. In July 2020, Kotaku reported that over 100 Ubisoft Toronto employees wrote an open letter to studio management, including Parizeau, complaining about mistreatment and harassment. When Parizeau left Ubisoft, he noted it was so that he could “focus on personal priorities.” We asked Amazon about this and will update this story if we get a response.
