A cancelled Assassin's Creed game had the potential to serve as a conclusion to an unofficial, yet very interesting trilogy.
Ubisoft almost completed a trilogy of Assassin’s Creed games, regardless of it being ever actually intended for it to become one.
The Assassin’s Creed franchise allows players to jump in at any point without feeling lost, although the modern-day storyline can be confusing at times.
However, the modern-day storyline has taken a backseat in recent years, with the rumored Assassin’s Creed 4 remake cutting all modern-day content in favor of new content with Edward Kenway.
The only Assassin’s Creed games that feel like true sequels to each other are the ones with Desmond Miles in them, the main character of the modern-day storyline in the first five Assassin’s Creed games, and the Ezio trilogy.
Author's summary: Cancelled game could have concluded trilogy.
