Former Assassin’s Creed producer Jean-François Boivin also fired
Not one, but two high-profile Assassin’s Creed developers are gone from Ubisoft.
It was confirmed earlier this week that Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets had departed from the company, but official comments from Désilets imply that he was forcefully removed.
Assassin’s Creed producer and former THQ Montreal colleague Jean-François Boivin is also out from Ubisoft, Désilets confirmed via Twitter:
Thinking of my good friend and producer @jfboivin who also got fired yesterday. I’m sharing your support with him…

Boivin’s initial run with Ubisoft began in 2005, and eventually took over as production manager and associate producer on Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed 2 and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Boivin moved on to THQ Montreal in 2010.
