Assassin’s Creed was originally supposed to end with part 3. However, this grand finale would have had nothing to do with the course of the series that fans know today. The journey would have gone into space and, despite the sci-fi aspect, would have been quite biblical.

Assassin’s Creed should end in space

By Assassin’s Creed standards, the story of the Desmond Trilogy even somewhat grounded. Interestingly, part 3 almost ended in space. Researcher Lars de Wildt examines, among other things, the topic of religion in connection with video games. In one of his works there is an interesting footnote on the topic of Assassin’s Creed 3 and the original ending of the story. (Source: Lars de Wildt via Eurogamer).

In an interview, a developer told de Wildt that AC 3 was actually supposed to end on a spaceship. Assassin’s Creed was planned as a complete trilogy and was supposed to have a big finale at the end. With the help of the knowledge and skills of Altair, Ezio and Connor, Desmond would have fought against Abstergo and even won. The world was actually supposed to end in 2012 and Desmond would have flown into space in a spaceship with Lucy Stillmanto get there to found a new civilization as Adam and Eve.

AC 3 does end Desmond’s story, but in a completely different way.

The entire story of Assassin’s Creed is now a real video game monster:

Why the new ending?

We can only speculate about this. On the one hand, the story did not fit with the plans to continue the Assassin’s Creed series, and on the other hand, Hollywood actress Kristen Bell (spokeswoman for Lucy Stillman) is said to have demanded more money for future appearances.

If we look at the series from today’s perspective, Layla Hassan experiences all sorts of crazy things thanks to all the gods, which can compete with a spaceship and the “Adam and Eve” ending.
