Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets' new and witchy 1666: Amsterdam demo raises more questions than answers
Patrice Désilets' long-awaited game, 1666: Amsterdam, has resurfaced with a playable prologue and an early access release planned for later this year. The game, which was originally conceived at Ubisoft before Désilets founded Panache Digital, features a witch-like protagonist and a narrative that spans multiple time periods. However, the prologue's release was met with controversy due to the apparent use of generative AI in its assets, leading to an apology from the studio, and a mixed reception on Steam has left many questioning the game's core mechanics and direction.
