Our little detour into the world of Dead by Daylight is complete. We’re back and ready to tackle the endgame of Assassin’s Creed 2, starting with the DLCs.
For those curious, here is the interview I was discussing while completing the final tomb for the Armor of Altair. In it, franchise boss Marc-Alexis Cote is fairly blunt about how once they killed off Desmond, they had no idea what to do with the “modern day” story line of the games. And as a result, the games themselves “reduced the conflict between Templars and Assassins to a straightforward pursuit of control over – let’s be honest – magical relics.”
None of this is new to us, since we talked about that during our Assassin’s Creed 1 series, but it’s refreshing to hear people in charge of the franchise speaking candidly about this challenge. I’m skeptical that Ubisoft can turn the franchise around, but would be happy to be proven wrong.
