Desmond Miles is the main protagonist of the Assassin’s Creed series. Born on March 13, 1987, which is the 72nd day of the year. He is a descendant of Altaïr ibn-La’Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Connor Kenway.
Ubisoft says Desmond’s story is far from over in Assassin’s Creed, as in the third installment of the series, players are going to “experience more” of Desmond’s story “than [they] ever have before.”
Speaking with CVG at a recent London reveal event, lead writer Turner said the game will be spending more time on “the present” as well with ACIII.
“All I can say about Desmond’s story is you’re going to experience more Desmond than you’ve ever had before,” he said. “We’re spending more time on the present than we have in past games.
“It’s a big part of our story and I don’t really want to give too many details away because I want people to experience what that is. But rest assured, you’re going to see a lot of Desmond. More so than in any past game.”
Turner didn’t reveal much about Desomd, but he goes on to say that it was harder to write the story for Assassin’s Creed III, as the Revolutionary time period has been “very well documented,” so the team had to really “pay attention to it.”
In Assassin’s Creed III, Desmond finally comes out of his coma, and through the help of his father, friends, and his ancestor Connor, he finds his way into the Grand Vault and stops the world from perishing.
Assassin’s Creed III will release on October 30 for PC, PS3, Xbox360 and Wii U.
