The original creator of Assassin’s Creed wanted to spectacularly complete the Desmond trilogy
The Assassin’s Creed series has always combined the discovery of historical eras with modern technology and action, but we’ve now learned that the original design of the Assassin’s Creed trilogy has taken this concept to an almost whole new level.
As reported by Eurogamer, the details of the original completion of the franchise were made public by a student at a Belgian research university. In a paper on the use of religion by developer Ubisoft, LU de Wildt, a PhD student at KU Leuven, wrote that modern-day characters Desmond Miles and Lucy Stillman would flee Earth with a spaceship and launch human civilization elsewhere. Wildt described the plan, saying it was compiled from interviews with Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets and Assassin’s Creed 3 creative director Alex Hutchinson.
“In short, the third game would end in resolving the conflict in the present, and Desmond Miles – whose [Nolan] North would give his voice – using the combined knowledge and abilities of all his ancestors, including the AC1 Altair and the AC2 Ezio, to account to Abstergo. Also, 2012 is the end of the world, and Desmond Miles and Lucy are founding a new civilization somewhere else – like Adam and Eve ”.
When Wildt asked Désilets where they were going, Désilets said: “Bang! It’s a fucking spaceship! ”
The actual trilogy ended very differently from this plan. Instead of concentrating heavily on today’s Miles, the protagonist of the game was Ratonhnhake: ton, also known as Connor Kenway, who was an assassin during the U.S. War of Independence. At the heart of the modern story continued was Desmond, who struggled with the end of the world, but the results turned out quite differently.
Lucy’s character was no longer present in Assassin’s Creed 3 as she had been killed earlier in the series. And even though Desmond’s story is over, Abstergo continues to show up in future Assassin’s Creed games. And of course, the trilogy didn’t end with none of the main characters sitting on a spaceship.
Although space is an option for the series to this day, the franchise is not afraid of the supernatural either. Coming soon Assassin’s The Creed Valhalla plugin turns players into Odin and sends them into the realm of northern mythology.
