While Desmond has appeared in every Assassin\u2019s Creed game, his backstory has always been somewhat mysterious, with Ubisoft only choosing to reveal a little of his character with each game.<\/p>\n
However, creative director Alex Hutchinson believes that even players who aren\u2019t Desmond fans will be converted in Assassin\u2019s Creed 3, as the character\u2019s previous story elements are tied together.<\/p>\n
“The story of Assassin’s Creed, AC II, Brotherhood and Revelations was to build Desmond up,” Hutchinson said. “He’s this guy who’s a bit of a nobody when it starts out, and gets new abilities through reliving the lives of his ancestors.<\/p>\n
“So we’ve built this guy up over the course of the games, and I really believe that we can pay that off, and in retrospect he’ll be terrific. I don’t think anyone really liked Luke Skywalker in [Star Wars] A New Hope, but by the end of his character arc, this journey that he goes through, makes him amazing.”<\/p>\n
Ubisoft have added a new teaser trailer in the same vein, focusing this time on Desmond. PS3 and Xbox 360 players won\u2019t have long to wait to uncover Desmond\u2019s story, with a confirmed release date of October 30th. PC players on the other hand will have a hard time dodging spoilers until the later release date of November 23rd. In the meantime, check out the trailer below.<\/p>\n
