Newsbrief: Today, Patrice Desilets, developer on the
Assassin's Creed and
Prince of Persia franchises, struck out on his own with a new, Montreal-based studio: Panache Digital Games.
Desilets was creative director on the first two
Assassin's Creed games but
left Ubisoft Montreal in 2010 during the development of the third title in the franchise.
He
popped up again at THQ Montreal, but after that publisher
was cut up and sold off following its bankruptcy, Ubisoft
ended up with the studio. Desilets soon
departed the company once again, and this time
sued it over his termination.
This story contains so much info on Desilets' history because there's
absolutely no info on Panache Digital Games' page, though there is a spiffy logo and a photo of some moose.
