Assassin’s Creed Desmond’s story to come to an end by December, 2012

Assassin’s Creed Revelations will see Ezio and Altair’s story come to an end, but Desmond’s story will see a continuation and end by December, 2012.

The game’s creative lead Alexandre Amacio told Eurogamer:

In Assassin’s Creed we set up a timeline with this whole end of the world plot of December 2012. That’s fast approaching, and the story we have to tell, we obviously need to do it before we arrive at that point. We had such a complex and strong narrative that we ourselves did our best to just try to execute these games before that date. It would be stupid of us to be centring a game on a semi-reality and then have that conclusion happen after that date in real life.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations releases on November 18th in Europe and three days earlier in North American retailers.
