5 Assassin's Creed Storylines That Were FORGOTTEN

What I want to do in this video is go over 5 Assassin's Creed Storylines That Were Simply just forgotten or abandoned. The series has been around for 17 years.. It’s a crazy number right? What's even more baffling is that we have upcoming games that we know of, including Assassin's Creed Red, Hexe, Infinity, some remakes, and a few more. Because of this, it's likely that Ubisoft has either forgotten or completely dropped some storylines in past games.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

Ubisoft are so frustrating because they get you so invested with good writing and the pay off is never there

[@ClaseyMeanAh]

They need to stay focused with their established story lines instead of coming with new lore bs that even fans struggle to keep up with.

[@AndrewMitchell123]

yes, this so much... I saw three pillars guy talk about how they are reinventing the wheel all the time even when absolutely not neccessary...

[@50.CalFilms]

@@ClaseyMeanAh might just be me but I think AC3 is one of the most unsatisfying games I’ve ever played. They set it up as an epic that spans multiple decades but the only time I ever rooted for Conor was killing Lee, and then it turns out Lee didn’t even order the attack on his village. It’s it’s annoying because the map gameplay and characters are great but the story just isn’t there

[@turbobrent9435]

Or they put the "pay off" somewhere else.looking at you AC comics.

[@cant_handle_deeznuts]

Revelations had a wholesome ending

[@colemacgrath2005]

The fact that the plot of Unity wasn’t Arno hunting down Shay is baffling to me, like ffs do you really expect me to believe Arno never even wondered which Templar killed his father?

[@colemacgrath2005]

This could’ve literally been a detective Assassin’s Creed game

[@moritakaishida7963]

It's even more baffling to me that the assassin's in unity and syndicate are protecting the royals and nobles, the assassins should be the ones aiding the french revolution and killing the royals with the working class, unity started a complete misunderstanding of the brotherhood

[@Bronzescorpion]

Even if he did wonder, the trail most likely would have gone cold at the time he could do anything about it.

[@RodZombie]

The reason why in Unity there's nothing about Arno tracking down the killer of his father is because the entire story of Unity was already locked into place, and the performances and everything done, even before development of Rogue began. Ubisoft wanted to release a new Xbox 360 and PS3 Assassin's Creed game for those who hadn't yet upgraded to Xbox One or PS4, and so they came up with Rogue, and shoehorned Shay as the killer of Arno's father so they could cross promote both Rogue and Unity. This is why we never see Shay killing Arno's father in Unity - the character of Shay hadn't even been created yet.

[@adamibnal-alam8917]

​​@@RodZombie Thank you. For once someone brings up a reasonable and logical explanation based on the development cycles of the games and not some convoluted story explanation like "the trail had gone cold" - this is FICTION, you could invent anything to shoehorn a revenge quest no one would bat an eye...

[@firionnel7833]

Another honorable mention is the "hidden twelve" Juno mentions sometime during AC Unity. According to Darby McDevitt, this is a scrapped plot point for Origins, where the twelve member of the Order of the Ancients wore masks that should have stored the memories of different Isus.

[@joelrobinson5457]

That would've been cool! A reason for the gold brick legendary stuff

[@docsanducezar]

*OMG i remembeeeer* I was so hyped thinking it ment Juno's mind was fragmented and she was trying to recover her power from other Isu Vaults around the world and we'd get to fight her in her Prime in a future game 😩

[@TamagoSenshi]

Remember the ending of Brotherhood, when Juno says "Find the sixth," "She lies not within our sight," and "She will walk with you through the gate"? Oh, and subject 16's monologue from the end of his secret. when he says "The sun... your son"

[@wingman-1977]

It could have been possible that there might have been DLC that Arno would have hunt his father’s murderer set for Unity, but they probably abandoned it after the horrible fallout of the game.

[@SuhiroSenpai]

Tbh, in hindsight, even in the Pirate era, the Observatory's usefulness is hevaily overestimated: - You need to have sampled blood - Stored in supply limited encasings - You can only see what happens at the moment you watch - You can only watch one at the time The use you can make of such a device is... Well... If the Observatory had special hidden functionalities, I could understand, but as we know it, it's a piece of technology that borders HEAVILY on witchcraft and which use is easily replaced by a spy, or in modern days a camera, or satellite

[@johanneskaiser8188]

The one advantage is presumably that, as opposed to a spy or camera, the observation can not be detected by any means, and over satellites that it gets closer and into any room. Potentially very useful, but very very limited use.

[@Bronzescorpion]

In the modern area the observatory isn't the real price, the blood samples are. Since the new Animus only needs DNA from a person and not a living relative, we are looking at a vast data bank if the samples are intact enough. It could have a huge potential.

[@SuhiroSenpai]

@@Bronzescorpion Ah, I see. This makes more sense, thanks for that. Though... Considering the place was already emptied before Roberts and Edward get in, it's still a phantom price...

[@iwasanMBTInerd]

Well, at that time, such a device would have been absolutely unheard of and nearly priceless to have access to for the simple fact that nothing of the sort would exist for several hundred years. Imagine if the British or Spanish got ahold of that. They could demand all of their citizens have a blood sample taken of them. Torres himself was once the governor of Cuba and had ties to very wealthy Spanish and British Templar aristocrats.

[@stormv7204]

💀 fr lol I guess it could be useful if you had ISU blood to use some triple helix DNA

[@WannabeAssassin]

I wish they continued the Thomas de Carneillon storyline since he is heavily underated and overlooked and ubisoft simply abondend him

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

Great mention. I always wondered what happened to him after that prologue to Unity. The Templar Jacques de Molay has a tie in to Unity's story a couple times with Germain but Thomas de Carneillon's only tie in are his robes we can acquire.

[@WannabeAssassin]

@@ConnorWiederich-hr4zuyeah, i wish we got an explanation but it is what it is.

[@jbcatz5]

@@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu I think that time period is referred to or close to the Animus setting in the novel Assassin’s Creed Heresy, released 2016 based on the references to the movie and other expanded universe media (and features Victoria Bibeau, who’d appear in Odyssey).

[@roninkahn4033]

The whole adam and eve plot kinda fell to the wayside after ac brotherhood

[@ulfberht4431]

As an Irishman, I would SOOOO want to play the Hell in Hiberia helix game. Just to experience the Irish War of Independence in game would be a nice little treat.

[@gourdguru]

i want Hell in Hibernia so bad. IRA assassins against the British Crown they just endeared themselves to in Syndicate? and templars stirring further division between protestant and catholic sects while perverting ideological things like the "Protestant work ethic" as means of social manipulation and control of the north irish british loyalists? yes please. or hell go the other way and make the IRA the Templars trying to destabilize the now Assassin allied Crown in England by creating strife in ireland and calling into question the government's ability to control the irish population, and thereby implying an inability to manage england's extended holdings and colonies. time period is too far apart to have the frye twin's make an appearance, but it would likely be fairly immediately after their deaths, assuming they lived out their lives and died naturally, so there could be reference to them to build on their game lore, or possibly an introduction of evie's son/daughter as a british contact for whichever side of it the Assassin's are framed as. Irish rebel music? a chance to witness/be involved in the Easter Uprising? fight back against the Black and Tans? The neighborhood's residents banging trashcan lids to warn people to get indoors as a group of soldiers roll through on vehicles, breaking your crowd blend ability and exposing you? the artifact maguffin could be brian boru's harp, or a mythical weapon from irish myth like the Sword of Nuada or the Spear of Cuchulain. New hidden blade mechanics they could add...well the armalite rifle and the 1911 pistol have been developed and popularized, so we could probably make the old hidden gun into a multishot derringer, basically have all of edward's flintlock rounds mounted right to your wrist. silencers/suppressors have been invented at this point too if i remember correctly, so maybe later in game you can suppress the shots. since they'll likely be less to climb, the grappling lines like jacob and evie had will be less useful to movement, so either remove them and go back to something like the hookblade, or have our irish assassin use it more creatively in combat to hook and entangle, or ambush tactics, like stretching it between two trees across a road to clothesline a soldier sitting atop a vehicle or riding a horse. OH, if it can detach from your wrist and achor at both ends, you could stretch it between the trees and clothesline the whole vehicle, causing them to run into the chain/wire and follow its angle back to one of the trees and crash into the tree, either killing or severely disorienting the npcs. HELL, YES. 1000% on board with this, an Assassin's Creed in that setting would be high octane madness, if done right. when we first got the teaser trailer for syndicate, focusing on jacob, i knew it was gonna be england, but i thought for a second we might get an irish oppression subplot that could have touched on it and been interesting. but then more came out and it was clear that wasn't gonna be the direction. most of the helix ideas sounded cool, but that one jumped out at me as having serious potential, as well.

[@vodkavecz]

that Jazz Age Junkies one would probably take place in the USA, during the Prohibition. Al Capone and all. Could've been interesting.

[@evandroescutatrap131]

Many of those plots were actually continued in comics. Probably everytime Ubisoft changes their narrative focus in this franchise, what was started gets an ending in a comic or book. Fun facts: Desmond has a son. We've never seen a sage again because it's over, they've managed to stop his reencarnation process (might be wrong in this one, don't quite remember it). For a long time, the plotline of "bringing a ISU back to life" was the main thing Abstergo was doing, what is funny is that Loki came back all by himself lol.

[@nobodyfamousX]

On one hand it's cool that they finished the stories, but it's also frustrating that they finished them in comics. If they decide to make comics it should be a supplemental story, and the main story should resolve in the main games.

[@bjarkiengelsson]

The only constant is change. Or, Lori, really. Causing mischief and having the snot beaten out of him for eternity.

[@WanRa28]

​@@nobodyfamousXor at least include those comics inside the games

[@AresSG]

Well two sages were alive at the same time, John Standish and Elijah (Desmond's son) so I don't know about the sage thing being stopped as it's more likely there are multiple reincarnations of him all around. However Elijah did successfully dominate and push Aita's pysche down in his mind and gained all the knowledge without losing himself. This was due to Elijah inheriting Desmond's high concentration of Isu DNA. As is known besides sages Desmond was the only human with the highest concentration of Isu DNA, thus Elijah as his son inherited that as well as what he got from Aita.

[@jregju]

When the AC Infinity Hub was announced the first thing I thought was the helix games screen.

[@jcampos002]

Life imitates art

[@StoryLover-7]

Me too 😅

[@Wizen65]

1. It would be nice if this idea came true in Infinite. 2. There is probably a problem of how to combine these stories so that they make some sense not only in the games, but also in the books. 3. The famous problem of creating another story. 4. As far as I know, Project Phoenix was related to the revival of Juno.

[@revanius2213]

Personally the idea of Arno hunting down Shay feels a bit too much like what's been done before with Conor and Ezio. There is also the problem of it pitting two main characters of full games against each other and having to decide who actually is better between htem.

[@unionjakass6589]

My issue is at that point Shay had a kid, so Arno killing Shay would’ve propagated a cycle of revenge. Shay kills Arno’s father, Arno kills Shay, Shay’s kid kills Arno and the cycle goes on so ultimately it would be pointless. I’d personally like a follow up game with Shay to see how he ran the Templar order assuming he became grandmaster

[@ArmandNizarriel]

Im happy with unity's ending, but that was before i played rouge, when i reached the ending i was like "wait a second, i know that kid !," after the ending i wondered how fun would it be if arno were to hunt shay as the main plot of unity's story 😅😅

[@shadowhell8378]

There's also Adam and Eve. We saw them escape from "the garden" in AC2 with the subject 16 puzzle files, then in brother we talked to 16 and he said find Eve, there was also Juno talking about Eve and then in AC3 Shaun talked to Desmond about seeing how far back they can look seeing if Desmond could live the life of Adam or Eve.

[@atomic747]

In all honesty, I would've just prefer the first civilization just stay as a mysterious race that had some tech left behind so the games could still stay somewhat grounded like in the beginning. Because jesus, they really went full fantasy and I was wondering how are they going to explain medusa's and other giant deers and dragons.

[@shadowhell8378]

@@atomic747 I agree I would have liked that or have Medusa be a woman being controlled by a piece of Eden and everyone else that sees it is seeing a illusion. Same with the other monsters having a realistic reason for it that just went mythical over time. But still having Adam and Eve in AC games would have been interesting like they are the prototypes for us and with them the templars could control everything and we need to go through time/history to find them in modern day.

[@MistaNoodle]

Having Juno's conclusion in the comics is just a straight slap in the face and feels like Desmond's death was for nothing. I wish they never killed him off and I also hope they can put more focus on the modern day storylines again

[@neekogregory1885]

This is always why you have people that love the show/comic/ video game write the shows if they don’t care for it then they ruin everything

[@Phantom3616G]

Ubisoft should have made the last three helix games that were shown in ac unity would have loved to see those games but if they make those games in the near future then colour me surprised

[@ulfberht4431]

While I would’ve like to have seen a storyline of Arno hunting down Shay for revenge as a better story, the major problem is that it would be a repetitive story. We’ve already gotten a story about revenge with Ezio and repeating it with Unity might make the more pompous critics more upset.

[@vaneblossom]

We need these dlcs that they are forgotten at unity's, is so unfair

[@herusolares5320]

-The tech of the observatory could've been used to enhance the Abstergo sattelite that was due to be launched during the Desmond arc. Said sattelite launch failed during the solar storm of 2012. -The "precursor box" is, essentially, the very first Animus. Used to bestow a person with prior knowledge/memories of their ancestors, or downright surplant them. Look how it embedded Shao Jun onto Anastasia Romanov in AC russia. -I had this idea that even the "modern day" is a layer of the Animus, viewed by people in the distant future. To them, "modern day" are the ancient memories they intend to relive. Not to fight a conflict in their "present", but to learn about their violent past from a more peacefull time.

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

The Observatory is actually mentioned a little in AC Syndicate in the World War 1 segment by Juno.

[@ZadiesLIVE]

The Hidden One, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!

[@vaneblossom]

And yeah, between arno and shay it was so cool to see their fighting

[@TeenTyrant]

The Observatory was caved in by an earthquake after the events of Black Flag. The purpose of the modern storyline of Black Flag is for Abstergo to learn the location of the Observatory so they could get the vials of Isu blood for Project Phoenix, or use the blood of a Sage to find another Sage elsewhere in the world so they could harvest their Isu DNA, but the story of the Observatory didn’t go anywhere because after the Assassins took over the land around it after Black Flag, the earthquake eventually destroyed it and it became useless to Abstergo in the modern day.

[@jbcatz5]

The whole Adam and Eve thing never got follow up after Liberation. Overall, Liberation’s ending being subject to reinterpretation depending on the Abstergo or Erudito placed ending was used just for this game when it could have made for an interesting take on history being written by the winning side, not to mention the only time Erudito were key to the plot in a game (which tied in more with the online Initiates feature iirc, and the wider expanded media).

[@Steveo0547]

Awesome video bro 😅

[@cosmicreddevil]

I think the templars took control of it in the end. The tv system that abstergo made was able to monitor people which I think was mentioned in black flag. I reckon they studies the observatory and found a way to scale it down and use it for their own gain. Another great video bro good job 👏 👍

[@haydeng2464]

The precursor boxes were in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, too. In the game’s Fate of Atlantis DLC, the precursor boxes can be interacted with by Alexios/Kassandra, and they grant Isu Knowledge, a main part of the main quest line of the DLC.

[@TheHiddenOne690]

ehh a simulation doesn't count, the one in rogue/freedom cry/chronicles were key for the actual main story

[@MidNate]

I'm probably one of the very few people who think that having a modern day protagonist and story should've stayed as part of Assassin's Creed formula. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed seeing the modern story seen from different perspectives and we do get that modern day protagonist in Origins and Odyssey with Layla. But other than that, it made it frustrating to follow the modern day story and events. Like not knowing what happened to Juno, or Minerva, or any of the Isus that we were introduced to early on. When we were with Desmond, it was easier to follow the story both from the past and present. To me, they need to go back to keeping a main protagonist like what they did with Desmond so we, as the consumer and audience, can have a better chance of following the stories

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

Few things: First time I played Black Flag I thought the purpose behind exploring Edward's memories was so Abstergo could find the Observatory but apparently that wasn't the case. I really wish the modern day had a purpose in that game like in the Desmond modern day storyline. I always wondered what happened to the precursor box after Shay reclaimed it. I'm interested to see it in the Chronicles games. And I agree with the votes about Unity's story being better with Arno going after Shay over the story we got. I get no one saw Shay at the Palace with how subtle he was and that Shay was around 37 years older than Arno and probably in his 60s in Unity but still Arno never even questioned how his father died and Shay would have made for a better antagonist, or supposed antagonist, than Germain who is forgettable. If there is one thing about Unity I would change it's that.

Assassins putting the Observatory out of use is a similar goal to the modern day Assassins in Unity, if it’s too dangerous in Abstergo/Templar hands they can’t get their hands on it. Arno hiding Saint Germain’s skull in the catacombs is like the Assassins putting the Observatory out of commission, taking a threat off the table.

So I remember Assassin's Creed 3 set Juno free, and then dialogue in Odyssey said Juno was taken out, wait what. Apparently they did it in a comic book, as this vid mentions Reading novels and comics to understand what's going on isn't limited to Assassin's Creed, but it does seem to be an odd trend lol 🤪 I got the Ezio Collection, Assassin's Creed 3 with Liberation, Black Flag, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate, Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla on PlayStation. I'm still on Odyssey and I'm not ready for Valhalla yet. The original isn't available and my old 360 got Red Dead Ring. Ubisoft should either port/remaster/remake the original, or PlayStation should start allowing backwards compatibility with PS3 games.

the bad guy from Watchdogs 2 should have been a reincarnation of Aita. Blume having been a plot to create massive world infrastructure for Juno's takeover would have been an epic revelation. also, the way they destroyed the interactive map with timeline that was Assassin's Creed Iniciates website. it was the greatest resource ever created for a fandom. it offered daily and weekly updates of all the in-time lore events taking place in the universe in-between game releases. these were presented as in-game surveillance of the assassins and templars by a third party. also, they abandoned the HUGE storytelling opportunities they had with the bleeding effect hallucinations and memory disks. also, they ruined Daniel Cross' death. he died suddenly and they cut his last tragic words. they showed no respect.

[@aurawolf2221]

Technically... thanks to Valhalla, ANY ISU can now be reincarnated so... the storyline wasn't 100% lost.

[@badbunny9116]

the three in Helix aew just ideas to explain what Helix is (which Helix is the upcoming Infinity service). Arno and Shay is a fan idea of mine when Shay, Arno and Connor meet up.

[@TamagoSenshi]

Everything from the end of Brotherhood, pretty much

[@RaixsOreh]

for Arno hunting shay thing, it doesn't need to happen, because that's literally just not just his story. his story is all about revenge, failure, and learning to move on from the past. It's not important that shay killed his father, what is important is that Arno feels responsible for his father dying, which further makes his failure to save monseiur de la serre much harder. it made him want to not fail anyone anymore, not let his loved ones die. which made him make mistakes like killing the wrong Templar Leader. He was the one who learned that he needs to let vengeance go, with mistake after mistake, while Elise refused to do so. all Arno wants isn't to get revenge (by killing Germain), it's to save the ones he loved (by saving Elise and trying to convince her to stop chasing vengeance.). the entire message of Unity is that revenge only brings more death. you have to let it go before it either brings your enemy's death or your own. and for the story to instead focus on Arno's revenge on Shay and giving a PRO-REVENGE story is just a much cheaper story overall.

[@Yannis1a]

I had No idea the Juno plot was resolved until now

[@deathpanda1904]

To be honest shay went dark so trying to find him would be finding a needle in the ocean

[@notesonwheels]

We did see Juno and Aita in Odyssey. Their story is over. Besides the point of the Loki/Aletheia story is that they did the same, but they succeeded. That is the heart of the current story of AC. What Juno failed, Aletheia and Loki succeded. Loki is walking around, now it is time for Aletheia too. The box was a map. The map is pointless now, nearly all temples are found. The story, if you REALLY think about, is pretty solid so far.

Interesting fact, Juno introducing the player to the 20th century missions in Syndicate is the first time the games use the term Isu. So maybe Juno is tracking history through her husband’s reincarnations.

[@osazeamor]

Unpopular opinion perhaps... But I think it would be interesting for the rpg style of gameplay to always feature templars as it's protagonist and the original gameplay style to always feature an assassin as it's protagonist, that way your always getting 2 narratives of the story and also two genres styles. (However I'm not opposed for swapping templars and assassin's back and forth)

The observatory isn't really important in the modern period, but all the blood samples were, given how the new Animus work. Since you don't need a living an relative anymore, you are looking at a vast databank if the samples are intact enough. There really isn't more to it.

This really showcases that it might just be time to shelve Assassin's Creed for good. 17 years after the first game, the creators of the current games have forgotten the plot and failed to develop it in any meaningful way beyond the morally gray Assassin vs Templar war. The Isu have been abandoned all together, major characters thrown aside to comics that most fans either don't know about or don't acknowledge, and the modern day story has been inconsistently appearing after AC3. What started as a historical fiction franchise that focused on conspiracy and supernatural prehistory has just devolved into an action RPG franchise that gives you one main character with superpowers in some random historical setting. The franchise's roots have been torn away, leaving us with scraps. Even Mirage, with was claimed to be a "return to the roots" had the fanbase arguing over teleportation in a complete filler game, and the modern day storyline won't even be featured in future games. It's time to pack it up and let go, Ubisoft.

[@bernardmacdonagh9517]

[@blackice7050]

[@Blade_728]

Rank the assassins creed soundtrack

[@supernoctifer6469]

Wonder how an old west AC would work

[@alxnd_r6345]

AC is about ISU and abstergo is just trying to find all ancient stuff.

[@mohamedmedo1599]

any one remember the theme used in The Observatory in the video

[@disasterpiece7583]

what music is playing on the background?

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Theres a lot of soundtracks in this video. Any specific timestamp?

[@UnclePhil73]

I think a game set during World War I had possibilities

[@davidpereira7450]

but i think this storylines in this videos and others could be in Infinity

[@vincesergi7339]

Didn't they wrap up the "Ancients" plot line in a comic. It wasn't even in the game.

[@edforeman92]

In my honest opinion, I think Arno hunting down shay would be a great idea, then a half-flushed-out love story. Half the characters in the creed wanted revenge; just look at Ezio and Bayek. The Bayek story has to be the most compelling and sympathetic yet enjoyable storyline in the assassin Creed timeline. Don't get me wrong, Arno was a good character, but I wish they could flush him out more. Spoiler alert: I mean, he became a master assassin at the end of unity. I mean, just imagine the DLC of Arno hunting down Shay, then meeting Connor. Speaking of Connor, What happened to him after Assassin Creed 3? Another plot hole. Shay was introduced in unity for a reason. Not just feeling in an evil role. Unity made references to Connor and Shay, wanting the stories to go hand in hand, but Ubisoft dropped the bomb.

specking of the IRA according to the You Tuber Irish Demon his grandmother use to carry around a Live Hand grenade in those turbulent times lol, would be fracking hilarious if when they did that game the assassin met a woman who offered him a grenade from her purses but the player doesn't have a chance to take it.

[@michaelamadheo6754]

Remember the ending of AC syndicate? They clearly forgot.

[@fionncrossan4595]

i think ubisoft is just anti irish like notice that the only irish assassin is shay but hopefully ubisoft get their shit together and give us the ireland ac that we deserve

17 A collection of nightmares, thoughts, and real life situations I've lived 17 is the number tattooed on the right side of my head My own personal number Soon to be explained in future interviews or instances By listening to this album, you are literally And I cannot stress this enough Literally Entering my mind And if you are not willing to accept my emotion And hear my words fully Do not listen I do not value your money I value your acceptance and loyalty Here is my pain and thoughts put into words I put my all into this In the hopes that it will help cure Or at least numb your depression I love you Thank you for listening Enjoy

[@drifter139]

maybe some day we'll get an AC set during the American Civil War

[@GageLarue]

This is not a forgotten storyline but I do want see the modern day assassins lose at some point, there have been only close calls, to my knowledge, but the modern day brotherhood always comes out on top. I'd like to see that not be the case at some point especially now that Ubisoft seems to be reintegrating a modern day story line.

[@atomic747]

I don't remember much, But I could've sworn they been on the losing side.

[@rorybisson756]

wow are we not going to mention the end of BF4 and the bombshell that there is an entire other bloodline from Edward besides the one we know and love. NO OTHER DROPPED STORYLINE MATTERS, from that point forward. we have never ever mentioned it again in AC games. for the record I do not count books/comics as AC canon regardless if they do or not. if its not in a game, its not canon.
