The Assassin's Creed franchise's boss has admitted that the series' "modern storyline struggled to find its footing" after the third game, but Ubisoft will take a "new direction" with it in Assassin's Creed Shadows - a game which could also let the studio overcome criticisms about the quality of its releases.
As Eurogamer reports, Ubisoft's vice president executive producer for the Assassin's Creed series, Marc-Alexis Coté, spoke at BAFTA event last week, where he admitted that the "modern day story arc" which focused on Desmond Miles ultimately led to "a creative crossroad" at the end of Assassin's Creed 3. Without spoiling anything, he says that deciding to end Desmond's arc was "difficult," and after that, "the modern storyline struggled to find its footing."
