Ubisoft intends to rid Assassin's Creed of Desmond... eventually | Forums

From the article:

Hutchinson likened remembering what was going on in Desmond's story as recalling what happened in junior high during college.

"Things that go on too long lack resonance. We're asking people to remember seven years worth of story. Which is like saying you were in junior high and now you're finishing college. And you need to remember what you were doing in junior high," he explained in a report by Polygon.

"I think Desmond needs to end."

Well I certainly agree with Hutchinson about the "Desmond needs to end" part, but I for one remember everything quite easily. It's almost like he doesn't like Desmond. That's the vibe I get while reading that.

Well, think of it this way. He's been placed on the end of a trilogy to finish Desmond's story, after it's spanned on for so long. There might not be as much of an attachment to the character, knowing that after the game releases, it's pretty much the end the player will see of Desmond.

Hutchingson doesn't hate Desmond ,he even said himself that their goal was to finally make Desmond Awesome.

Which implies that he didn't think Desmond was awesome prior to AC3.

That's because he wasn't. But I don't think that even if Hutchinson hated Desmond he could just give the go ahead to kill off the character or do away with him. I think he would need to pitch that idea to the higher ups at Ubisoft who I think realize that the Desmond part of the story needs a change. They will probably just replace him with someone else to try and keep it fresh while finally bringing the Desmond aspect of the story to a close.

I thought AC3 was Desmond's last game?

I don't think theyve officially confirmed or denied it.....

I wouldn't be surprised if Desmond stops the solar flare and then in AC4 his son finishes the Templars off.

Possibly, but I don't think in AC4. Ubisoft wants to continue AC, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they go past whatever game is after AC3.
