Assassins Creed will continue after the end of Desmonds tale

Who else saw this coming? Straight from the get go, Ubisoft planned for the story of Desmond Miles to end in the year 2012, but it doesn't mean its the end of Assassin's Creed as a series.


In case you didn't know, The story of Desmond Miles takes place in the near future of 2012 and spans across only a couple of months with it revolving around the whole "end of the world in december 2012" Theory. Creative Director Alexandre Amacio had this to say.

"In Assassin's Creed we set up a timeline with this whole end of the world plot of December 2012. That's fast approaching, and the story we have to tell, we obviously need to do it before we arrive at that point."

Since Revelations will be out soon and only mark the end of Ezio's and Altair's story, a new Assassin's Creed (most likely III) will be released in next year, marking the end of Desmond's story, but Assassin's Creed won't.


"Assassin's Creed is all about cycles, We have the Ezio cycle and the Altair cycle, and both of those are set to conclude in Revelations, and we have the Desmond cycle, which is set to end on December 2012. But there's many cycles within the brand – that's the whole point. History is our playground."

Amancio also wanted to state that future Assassin titles won't follow a yearly release like they are now. With the end of the main story, they will have more development time for later releases.

"Our development approach is changing so our cycles aren't structured the same way – so it gives us a little bit more development time."
