Patrice Desilets has revealed the first details on his next game at new studio Panache Digital Games – and promised to give away a game for free to fans who have already signed up to the studio's newsletter.
In an email sent to fans, Desilets revealed that the studio is working on a "3rd person Historical-Action-Survival game", the type of game he says "we have done quite well in the past".
Panache Digital Games is "a brand new AAA game development studio, based in Montreal and founded with my good friend and long-time ally, Jean-Francois Boivin, in the summer of 2014," Desilets explained.
"Indeed AAA Games, I believe in them. I believe wholeheartedly that this medium we call 'video games' can be a positive force for change in our society and that AAA quality gaming experiences have unmatched strength to achieve this. For you see, dear friends, I've always had an underlying ambition in my work: to move the world of games. It is with this motivation that I designed Assassin's Creed. I believe that, somehow, I succeeded in my mission. This gives me great motivation, ambition and heart to continue the adventure.
"Unfortunately however, this letter will not reveal what we're currently working on over at Panache. Not right now, it's just a tiny bit too soon. What I will say is that we're working on a 3rd person Historical-Action-Survival game. Something that we have done quite well in the past.
"That said, I wanted to find a way to thank you for your patience and your outburst of good wishes and love. For you, our first and beloved supporters, my team and I have decided that we will give you a full copy of our next game. Let's call it a free to play game that's not a 'free-to-play' game. You have taken the time out of your busy schedules to give us your email contact info, to join us and become our first community. Again, simply out of trust, out of love for what we’ve done in the past. We continue to be deeply touched by the gesture."
It isn't entirely clear whether the free game will be the 3rd-person title detailed above or a different title.
Further details on historical survival game, including platforms and a release date, have yet to be announced.
