Assassin's Creed Almost Wound Up Going to Space - Gizmodo

Specifically, 2012's Assassin’s Creed III would’ve concluded with the series going to space.

Interviewing game designer and series creator Patrice Désilets and AC3's creative director Alex Hutchinson, de Wildt learned the modern day storyline would’ve had a more epic end to the war between the present day incarnations of the Assassins and Templars.

Desmond, de Wildt wrote, would’ve defeated the evil corporation Abstergo (run by Templars) by “using the combined knowledge and skills of all his ancestors, including AC1's Altair and AC2's Ezio.” And the 2012 doomsday storyline the games had been gradually building to would’ve seen Desmond and fellow Assassin Lucy be the new Adam and Eve (who showed up in AC2) on another planet.
