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 was ever actually intended for it to become one.
The modern-day storyline can be a bit intrusive and confusing, even if you have played all of the games, but that has taken more and more of a backseat over the years.
As an example,
the rumored Assassin’s Creed 4 remake is straight up cutting all of the modern-day content in favor of new content with Edward Kenway, which is a smart choice.
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 conclude trilogy.
