Assassin's Creed developer Ubisoft has said it has ideas in place for the series' eventual ending - whenever that might be.

In a conversation with Eurogamer, Assassin's Creed 4 game director Ashraf Ismail explained the franchise's bosses had a rough idea of how they wanted the series to finish.

"We have multiple development teams, then we have the brand team that sits on top and is filled with writers and designers concerned with the series' overall arc," Ismail explained. "So there is an overall arc, and each iteration has its place inside this.

"We have an idea of where the end is, what the end is. But of course Yves [Guillemot, Ubisoft's overall boss] announced we are a yearly title, we ship one game a year. So depending on the setting, depending on what fans want, we've given ourselves room to fit more in this arc. But there is an end."

Time to put that dog down, or at least space the releases.

It ends when it stops making money in other words.

I feel that Assassin's Creed should had ended by now, or at least have made Desmond the real main character by now and not his ancestors. Ubisoft are just bleeding this series dry with all of their bullshit, and that's sad to me because I really loved this series at a time.

Thank God, now talk can milk Watch_Dogs.

But I hope they pump out Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Wouldn't be any need for it to end if it wasn't so milked!

They just need to give it lengthy breaks.

It ended for me with the awful AC3.

at the ubisoft meetings while talking about the ending
manager: "ok guys how and when do we end this?"
some random dude: "it ends when it stops selling, how it ends well the assassins wins and desmond saves the world in present time"
manager: " ok guys meeting adjourned"

Funny how 'the end' will coincide with plummeting sales for this year's release. I really don't see Black Flag doing all that well.

Funny how this overly milked franchise is looking to have its best entry after so many releases in Black Flag. I've never been interested in the AC series, but Black Flag is looking really good.
