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 https://www.eurogamer.net/ubisoft-suspends-development-on-patrice-desilets-1666-for-an-undisclosed-time">Ubisoft decided to shelve 1666 - as it was known then - and suspend Désilets, prompting https://www.eurogamer.net/patrice-desilets-gains-1666-amsterdam-rights-calls-off-ubisoft-lawsuit">a legal battle that he eventually won three years later.

Désilets has wanted to make this game for a long time.
