Assassin’s Creed co-creator Patrice Désilets’ game 1666: Amsterdam launches early access on PC on August 25. The announcement comes from developer Panache Digital Games, with the release planned for Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The game is positioned as an action-adventure set in a historical setting and has drawn attention in part because it has faced long delays tied to legal disputes involving Désilets and Ubisoft. Different outlets frame the timing focus on the same point: early access is arriving sooner than expected, while also noting the project’s extended development history. Both sources report the same start date and PC storefront availability.

Together, the coverage confirms that players will be able to try the game during early access on PC platforms starting August 25, while the broader context remains the project’s past legal and development challenges.
