According to Augamer, former Assassin's Creed developers said the series was originally planned to end in the form of a trilogy ending with the destruction of the world and Desmond and Lucy heading elsewhere to begin a new human civilization.
Details of this ending were originally published by Lars de Wildt, a researcher who studies conspiracy theories, religions and other beliefs in digital media culture at the University of Leuven in Belgium, who interviewed many former Assassin's Creed developers in 2019 and recently detailed the details of the story gleaned from these interviews.
Lars de Wildt writes: "The original plan was based on my interviews with Patrice Désilets, the original creator of Assassin's Creed, and Alex Hutchinson, creative director of Assassin's Creed 3, and simply put, the third game will end in a way that resolves the current conflict, and Desmond will use the knowledge and skills of all his ancestors, including Altaïr of Assassin's Creed 1 and Ezio of Assassin's Creed 2, to defeat Abstergo. ”
In an interview with Auggarer on Jan. 21, Alex Hutchinson, creative director of Assassin's Creed III, recalled discussing the matter with students and said that the early game program was indeed focused on modern showdowns featuring Desmond.
Lars de Wildt continues: "In addition, 2012 is the end of the world, and Desmond and Lucy will travel elsewhere to start a new civilization, just like Adam and Eve did. Patrice Désilets told Lars de Wildt: "That's why after Alpha Australopithecus, she was called Lucy. ”
As for where Desmond and Lucy were going, Patrice Désilets said, "Boom! It's a spaceship! ”
Of course, the plan changed a lot when Assassin's Creed 3 went on sale in 2012, and while it still ended desmond's story and current conflict, many other details changed a lot.
The success of the series allowed Ezio to extend his trilogy of games, and Patrice Désilets left Ubisoft after a public affair with company owner Yves Guillemot. The character of Lucy has also withdrawn from Assassin's Creed. In addition, Abstergo remained the villain of the series in many of the games that followed.
