I sometimes wonder if the original team who developed the first two Assassin’s Creed games under Patrice Desilets envisioned a world where Desmond would take the lead in a modern day Assassin’s Creed game for the third entry. Perhaps it was always intended for Desmond to solely serve as a proxy for us, the players, to delve into history through.

Regardless of the truth, I can’t help but emotionally feel that I was robbed of a world where Desmond could stand on his own two feet and be the lead character. This ending shows that potential.

But that’s not the reality we live in. No, next time we’ll take on the lived reality where the game held onto Ezio for a few games longer, starting with Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.
