Ubisoft initially planned for Assassin's Creed 3 to be the historical action-adventure series' final entry, dying with protagonist Desmond Miles – but upon Brotherhood and Revelations' release, the entire course of the franchise was changed for good.
Assassin's Creed 3 creative director Alex Hutchinson, who most recently led the work on sci-fi sequel Revenge of the Savage Planet, reveals as much in a new interview with FRVR. He explains that the original plan for Assassin's Creed was to make it "a trilogy" – a plan that was in place before he joined the team himself. "It was the two [games] as they were and then a Desmond game, and that was it," describes the developer.
