Update Ismail deleted his Twitter account.

I am leaving a project that I love to properly deal with my personal problems. My life and the life of my family are ruined, and I deeply regret the pain this has brought to everyone.

Hundreds of talented people with a passion for their work strive to create something that does not deserve to be associated with my problems. I wish them all the best.
As already confirmed in Ubisoft, Ismail’s departure is considered a vacation – he still remains an employee of the company.
Ismail did not specify what problems were being discussed, however, on June 21, one girl told on her Twitter that he was in a relationship with her despite the fact that he was married – she did not find out about this immediately.
She later showed a correspondence in which Ismail asks her to delete the messages and talk to him, however she appears to have refused.
The story did not receive widespread publicity, since many felt that such problems only concerned Ismail himself and the girl with whom he was in a relationship, and they should not be discussed in public.
Who will now replace Ismail as the creative director of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is unknown, but it is unlikely that his departure will greatly affect the project, since the development is already in the final stages.
Valhalla will be released at the end of 2020.
