WARNING: The following list contains AC3 spoilers.
1. IS GONE?!: DESMOND MILES
Desmond Miles gave his life at the end of "Assassin's Creed III" to prevent an apocalypse and save humanity. Some speculate Juno tricked Desmond into doing her bidding, other says the First Civilization are the real bad guys.
We do not know what Juno's intentions are, but Ubisoft has repeatedly confirmed Desmond is dead and AC4 is the gaming series' way of "saying goodbye" to him.
R.I.P. Desmond Miles.

From the mouth of Ubisoft Game Director Ashraf Ismail: "We call those "What the F-k Moments." You can't have an Assassin's Creed game without a What the F-k Moment. It has to be in there. The First Civilization, Juno... all that is part of the brand and yes, there's progression in it. It's not just a nod that we make to it. It's actually part of the meta story. You see what happens after Assassin's Creed III - you see the ramifications of that, and we push it further."
