According to director Alex Hutchinson at the current Eurogamer Expo, ”We know that not everyone will buy it. So it’s a ‘what the f–k’ chunk of story that, if you missed it, the next game will still make sense.”
Animation director Jonathan Cooper added, ”You will never guess what it is. It’s that early that we haven’t decided. There are debates as to where we draw the line in the various chunks (of the story).
“And unlike some people we really don’t start work on it until the game is finished. It is not on the disc.”
Assassin’s Creed 3 is due to be released on the 23rd November for PC, and 30th October for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
