Hovedperson Desmond Miles var i starten meget, meget afgørende for Assassin's Creed-serien. Det var hans forfædre, og hans liv uden for Animus-maskinen der bandt spillene sammen, og som ledte til slutningen på den første saga i form af Assassin's Creed III.
Lige siden har Ubisoft ikke haft nær lige så meget interesse i at fortælle en sammenhængende historie udenfor de enkelte tidsperioder, men stemmeskuespilleren Nolan North forsikrer os altså om, at Miles teknisk set stadig er i live.
I et interview med Fall Damage siger han dette:
"That technically was Desmond's death scene, and I didn't know it. I found out on Twitter. 'Are you upset Desmond's dead?' And I'm thinking, what? Because there's no 'Argh!' There's nothing that you'd expect from a main character's death, although the good people at Ubisoft have told me that he's not technically dead."
Ikke nok med det, North fortalte også at planen først var at fortsætte med Miles langt længere:
"I think the original idea was eight or nine games with Desmond, but, as it so often goes in the entertainment industry, different developers, different creative directors come in, and they have their own way of continuing the story — and it's done very, very well."
Ønsker du at se et comeback for mere sammenhængende historiefortælling?
