Former Creative Director of Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed 2, Patrice Desilets, was terminated from Ubisoft today. In a statement from Polygon Desilets said" Contrary to any statements made earlier today, this morning I was terminated by Ubisoft" and "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,". In another statement with Game Informer Desilets stated that "Ubisoft's actions are baseless and without merit. I intend to fight Ubisoft vigorously for my rights, for my team and for my game".
The eariler statement that Desilets is referring to is the one sent by Ubisoft stating "The acquisition of THQ Montreal in January allowed Ubisoft to welcome 170 experienced developers, including Patrice Desilets, to our existing and renowned workforce. Unfortunately, since the acquisition, 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 Montreal's past and future successes".
This is the second time Desilets has left the company, the first was in June 2010 for a creative break from the industry. He then joined THQ Montreal in May 2011 and then rejoined Ubisoft in March of this year after the acquisition of THQ Montreal by Ubisoft.
