Next year’s instalment of Assassin’s Creed will see the end of the world and, more importantly, the conclusion of Desmond Miles’ part in the Ubisoft franchise.
Alexandre Amacio, currently working as creative lead for next month’s Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, revealed the first few details of the game when speaking to Eurogamer.
“In Assassin’s Creed we set up a timeline with this whole end of the world plot of December 2012,” he said. “That’s fast approaching, and the story we have to tell, we obviously need to do it before we arrive at that point.”
He added: “We had such a complex and strong narrative that we ourselves did our best to just try to execute these games before that date. It would be stupid of us to be centering a game on a semi-reality and then have that conclusion happen after that date in real life.”
Fortunately the end of Desmond – and the world – isn’t enough to kill the series off altogether, with it likely to return beyond 2012.
