Assassin's Creed creator Gets 1666 Amsterdam Rights

Patrice Désilets has "creative and business control" of 1666 Amsterdam.

Before getting fired from Ubisoft Patrice Désilets was working on 1666 Amsterdam, an open world historical adventure IP. After a long legal battle, Désilets has emerged victorious and has gained "creative and business control" over 1666 Amsterdam.

"I'm glad Ubisoft and I were able to come to an agreement that will allow me to obtain the rights to project 1666 Amsterdam. I will now devote myself entirely to the development of Ancestors: the Humankind Odyssey, my next game with Panache Digital Games, said Désilets in a statement."

"This is what matters most to me today: making the best games and showing the world the creative talent of Quebecers. I also wish every success to the Ubisoft teams," he concluded.

1666 Amsterdam was planned to be "the new Assassin's Creed."
