Reports from Kotaku indicate that Morel had been promoted in February as part of a restructuring at Ubisoft Montpellier following concerns of burnout and high sick leave rates at the studio. His passing is a devastating blow to the team and the industry as a whole.
During his time at Ubisoft, Morel contributed to several notable titles, including The Adventures of Tintin and Rayman Legends. Prior to joining Ubisoft, he worked on games such as Alone in the Dark and Test Drive Unlimited 2 at Eden Games, showcasing his talent and dedication to the craft of game development.
