The next installment of the "Assassin's Creed" series could be set in many different eras, but Ubisoft might be thinking about intertwining one of their other titles into the game's Modern Day storyline.
According to Game Reactor, lead game designer Jean-Sebastien Decant talked about combining the recently delayed "Watch Dogs" and the "Assassin's Creed" series in the future.
"I think we're going toward a gaming place where the open world will be shared with other players. More and more. Socially speaking, but also maybe multiplayer stuff. And we will have to consider the open world much more like a platform that we could sustain for years," Decant explained.
When Game Reacted asked about the merging of the two titles, Decant was open to the possibility.
"Absolutely, Watch Dogs is kind of showing us the path for the future," Decant said. "But we have to create a... We have to respect our brands. So if we have to go that way with Assassin's Creed we have to think about how it could fit into Assassin's Creed."
Decant focused on the future of next-gen gaming in his interview, talking about the importance of understanding the specs of a console before you can start creating a new game.
"When you start and you don't even know the specs or what they are going to do you don't think about that [next-gen consoles] or you're going to be sick," said Decant. "We thought about next-gen graphics and in order to explore that we used the high-end PCs on the side, and then we continued just what we started with the previous games and build upon that. I think next next-gen is going to be for the next games. The next games are going to be much more on the next-gen side. This one is really on the edge." (WATCH the interview below)
