Ubisoft suspends Desilets’ 1666

Not only has Ubisoft shown developer Patrice Desilets the door, but it has also cancelled his most recent project.

"After more than two months of discussions with [Patrice], we couldn’t align our vision both on the project development and the team management," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told investors of the pair’s recent split, as reported by Joystiq.

"So, consequently, our collaboration has ended, and we have suspended 1666 for an undisclosed period of time."

Earlier this month Ubisoft issued a statement simply stating that Desilets had left the company that he had re-joined after Ubisoft’s acquisition of THQ Montreal.

Desilets, however, then released a statement of his own claiming that he had been unceremoniously booted.
