    The reports have been confirmed by other Ubisoft employees that have been working from home due to the pandemic. Community Developer Eric Pope is currently posting on his official Twitter account and confirmed the building on the pictures being shown on the Montreal news outlet. He revealed that his team is on the roof right now.
