Ubisoft has gone on record (source is Game Informer magazine, latest issue) as saying they use a new character every time they release a numbered entry. So Assassin's Creed III will have a new protagonist.

I was under the impression that this had been the plan from the start, and that the other non-numbered ones were spin offs/cash cows, depending on how cynical you are, following a character that people like.

Hell, I love playing as Ezio. He's pretty awesome. Look forward to whoever the next Assassin is, and what era of history it'll be set in.

AC1 took place in ~1200 and AC2 takes place in ~1500. If there's another jump forward ~300 years, you have Napoleon or America as obvious centerpieces. They've stated it's not World War II. World War I could actually be really cool, though. There's a lot in there that fits in with the style and themes of the games, and it's so underexposed in gaming that it would be pretty novel. And you could have Nikola Tesla (who we know worked with the Assassins) as the gadget dude/da Vinci, which would just be awesome.

Whatever it is, I'm guessing the game is going to be half-ancestor and half-Desmond, as apparently the series is supposed to be a trilogy.

I'm pretty sure there was a lot of stuff going on in the Ottoman Empire in the 1800s too, so it could take place there. Though on the codex map there are markers over New York and Mongolia, so maybe around one of those areas.

I think I read that Desmond's story will be finished by the end of 2012 so I'm assuming AC3 will be the last one (as far as Desmond's ancestors go).

Hell, Italian ninjas are apparently a great idea, so why should anybody stop them?

As for the Desmond gameplay, hopefully they give more and more of it, since the entire collection so far has looked mostly like teaser's for what they're planning to do.

Regarding Revelations, it seems as though the last 3 games slowly hinted at humans having a suppressed ability to perceive through time (indicated by the "space bitch from the future and the past" knowing the future, and also possibly hinted by ancestor memories triggered outside of the animus), and it may have some kind of anchor based off the genetic memory, thus allowing Ezio to perceive Altiar, and probably what allows Desmond to continue in the Ezio memories (I'm assuming Ezio doesn't fuck someone at the end of this next game, given his age).

But Minerva isn't human. None of the "gods" (they were perceived as such, ergo the quotation marks) were human, so Minerva's ability to know the future has no way of being passed down to humans, other than if a Piece of Eden was the reason she could do so. Also, having memories triggered outside of the animus is a result of spending too much time in the animus. It's like the bleeding effect, only instead of learning new skills your mind hallucinates memories buried in your genetic code. Also, Ezio seeing Altair's memories could just be a result of early attempts to unlock genetic memories. They obviously wouldn't know at the time they were genetic memories, and maybe just viewed them as going on a spiritual journey, guided by your ancestor. But using crude hypnosis or drugs as a means wouldn't be too far-fetched.

Are you talking about Ezio having kids after Revelations? He does. Look up "Embers"

This seems relevant the interests of some of you, so I thought I'd share it.

Pretty nice. It'd be cool if they'd set the next ancestor in Revolutionary America or Maybe WWI-II era (even though they've said it wasn't gonna be WWII). Only thing I'd be worried about is introducing guns. Don't want anything close to guns (outside of the hidden gun).
