Patrice Désilets, the co-creator of the original Assassin’s Creed, has affirmed he’s working on a new AAA “3rd person historical-action-survival game”.

Désilets left Ubisoft after Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, although by a bizarre twist of fate ended up back there when Ubi bought THQ and the game he was working on at the time. That didn’t end well, with Désilets telling that he was fired and escorted from the building.At the time he was working on project called Amsterdam: 1666, another historical sounding project. Ubi will have the rights to that, so whatever this is will be a new historical game. As Désilets says, it’s “something that we have done quite well in the past.” He also says this an AAA game, adding “I believe in them.”
