Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets fired from Ubisoft • News • Eurogamer.net

Assassin's Creed leading dev Patrice Désilets was fired from Ubisoft this morning, less than two months after returning to the company following a nearly three year absence.

During the summer of 2010, Désilets left Ubisoft to "take a creative break from the industry," before joining up with THQ's Montreal studio where he was working on two projects codenamed 1666 and Underdog. Following THQ's bankruptcy, its Montreal studio - and the two aforementioned projects - were acquired by Ubisoft, so Désilets found himself back at the company he'd previously left.

Ubisoft initially told Polygon that "the good faith discussions between Patrice and Ubisoft aimed at aligning Patrice's and the studio's visions have been inconclusive. As a result, Patrice has left the studio. Our priorities remain with the teams already hard at work on projects in development. They are at the root of Ubisoft Montréal's past and future successes."

Désilets, however, told a less pleasant story. "Contrary to any statements made earlier today, this morning I was terminated by Ubisoft," Désilets explained to Polygon. "I was notified of this termination in person, handed a termination notice and was unceremoniously escorted out of the building by two guards without being able to say goodbye to my team or collect my personal belongings.

"This was not my decision," he added. "Ubisoft's actions are baseless and without merit. I intend to fight Ubisoft vigorously for my rights, for my team and for my game."

When asked for a comment by GameInformer, he simply stated, "I'll survive."

We've contacted Ubisoft to explain its side of Désilets' accusations and will update if we find out more.

Come on.

AC isn't as bad as COD.

Despite the higher frequency they are still keeping a descent quality.

Naughty Dog better catch him and his team and crush the buildings!

AC let me down.
Could have been the GOAT franchise.

Assassins creed is a shytty series anyway. Jumping off roofs from 1000 feet in the air & landing neatly in a tiny wheelbarrow with hay in it

Garbage ass combat

Cities & villages never feel alive

Why do people enjoy these trash games. This is coming from a nikka that bought #1 and played #2 and #3 hoping for change

Whats so bad about AC3 tho. It felt like a solid game to me.

Solid game, yes
but I felt like Im just going through the motions, gameplay feels like incremental updates from Revelations & Brotherhood and the story does nothing for me. I guess I'm burnt out on the franchise

 

[Mowgli]

Never felt moved to beat one of these shytty games.

 

[daze23]

it says this guy just got back, after leaving in 2010. so I don't think he worked on AC3

I think the "my game" he talks about are the two other projects he was working on
