Quote:Ubisoft initially told Polygon that "the good faith discussions between Patrice and Ubisoft aimed at aligning Patrice's and the studio's visions have been inconclusive. As a result, Patrice has left the studio. Our priorities remain with the teams already hard at work on projects in development. They are at the root of Ubisoft Montréal's past and future successes."

Désilets, however, told a less pleasant story. "Contrary to any statements made earlier today, this morning I was terminated by Ubisoft," Désilets explained to Polygon. "I was notified of this termination in person, handed a termination notice and was unceremoniously escorted out of the building out of the building by two guards without being able to say goodbye to my team or collect my personal belongings.
