The French union Solidaires Informatique and Game Workers Unite - a company looking to represent workers in the industry - have announced that they are calling for evidence concerning allegations of sexual predators existing within Quantic Dream.

Both explain that they've heard accusations of sexual harassment and assault within the studio, hence why they're asking for victims and witnesses to come forwards and contact them, guaranteeing legal support and confidentiality.

In early 2018 reports emerged of a "toxic working environment" at the studio, including allegations of inappropriately photoshopped images, sexism, and racist jokes.

Back then Quantic Dream responded by offering a statement on Twitter, and now they've done the same with regards to this latest situation. After reaffirming the team's commitment to providing a "safe and creative work environment, in an open and respectful atmosphere," the developer provides the following message:

"We take matters of harassment very seriously. We are not aware of any such cases at our company and strongly encourage victims to immediately contact the relevant authorities."

We will keep you updated as and when this story develops.
