After firing Désilets, Ubisoft paused development on 1666 and in June 2013 Désilets sued the studio partially for the rights to the game. Today, Ubisoft gave Désilets the rights to 1666 Amsterdam and he withdrew his case.

"Putting aside our past differences, Patrice and I are above all interested in the creation of video games and the evolution of this medium of entertainment," Ubisoft Montreal and Toronto CEO Yannis Mallat said. "This agreement is good news for everyone."

Désilets said that, for now, he'll continue working on Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, a AAA action-survival experience he's developing with his own studio, Panache Digital Games.

"This is what matters most to me today: making the best games and showing the world the creative talent of Quebecers," Désilets said. "I also wish every success to the Ubisoft teams."
