The Assassin's Creed series tends to have a flaky relationship with its own lore, as you can never be quite sure whether theoretical mainstays like modern-day shenanigans or Isu artifacts are going to appear in any given entry. Even the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars was more or less swept under the rug in Assassin's Creed Shadows, but Ubisoft is hinting that may soon change.
"The Assassins vs. Templars conflict has always been a core pillar of Assassin's Creed," a developer identified as Luc says in a Reddit AMA. "With Shadows, we wanted to properly set our protagonist in the setting before expanding on the Assassins vs. Templars. Now that it's done on the main game, we scratched the surface with the Critical Role story drop, and you can expect more deep dive in this conflict in the near future."
