Former Assassin's Creed creative director Patrice Désilets is giving the keynote to the Reboot Develop conference tomorrow in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The topic of the discussion? The next chapter of his career in video games, which now spans more than 15 years.
We already knew his next project with recently founded studio Panache Digital is a historical, triple-A action survival game. Today on Twitter, Désilets teased that we may find out more about it tomorrow during the talk.
If you want to see the reveal as it happens, tune into the Hitbox stream at the ungodly hour of 3:00AM CDT.
Our Take
It's been a strange five years since Désilets shipped his last game. In the time since he originally left Ubisoft in 2010, he joined THQ to work on a new project, had that project purchased by Ubisoft in the auction of THQ assets, and then was terminated by Ubisoft, resulting in a pending lawsuit against the French publisher that is still playing out. Despite the legal drama, Désilets is moving forward with his career. We're excited to see what the creative director of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Assassin's Creed is doing next.
