Few games have a history as turbulent as that of 1666: Amsterdam. This is the project Patrice Désilets – the founding director of the Assassin’s Creed series – fought Ubisoft for. It was the project that was in development there in some form 13 years ago, until Ubisoft decided to shelve 1666 – as it was known then – and suspend Désilets, prompting a legal battle that he eventually won three years later. Désilets has wanted to make this game for a long time.
