Desilets was the creative director on Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed 2 and partly on Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood until leaving Ubisoft in 2010.
1666: Amsterdam was in development at THQ Montreal when Ubisoft bought the studio and the project and fired creator Patrice Desilets.
However, Desilets is working on another game, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey for Panache Digital Games, meaning there is no active development on 1666: Amsterdam.
Just this week, Desilets and Ubisoft settled a lawsuit in which the rights to 1666: Amstedam were returned to Desilets.
