Assassin's Creed Franchise To Return In 2012

Want more Assassin's Creed after Revelations hits next month? Turns out you won't have to wait too long. Speaking with Eurogamer, creative lead Alexandre Amacio revealed: "In Assassin's Creed we set up a timeline with this whole end of the world plot in 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. 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. Assassin's Creed is all about cycles. We have the Ezio cycle and the Altair cycle, both set to conclude in Revelations. Then 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!" However, Amacio did hint that the regularity of instalments released would decrease after the 2012 Creed, allowing Ubisoft Montreal to focus on innovation for wherever the franchise heads next. Assassin's Creed: Revelations ships November 15th.
