On May 7, 2013, Patrice Désilets, the creator of Assassin’s Creed, had his life turned upside down. He was terminated by Ubisoft, the company he had left three years prior, and his highly anticipated game, 1666: Amsterdam, was left in limbo. But instead of giving up, Désilets decided to take control of his own destiny and start his own independent studio, Panache Digital Games.
The Journey to Independence
Désilets’ career at Ubisoft was filled with successes, from rebooting the Prince of Persia franchise to creating the billion-dollar juggernaut, Assassin’s Creed. But after leaving Ubisoft in 2010, he felt the need to explore new opportunities and have more creative autonomy. 1666: Amsterdam was his vision for the next evolutionary step in the action/adventure genre.
