==Future==
Ubisoft has made several statements about future installments. In 2012, ''Assassin's Creed III'''s creative [[Alex Hutchinson]] said that settings such as [[World War II]], Feudal [[Japan]] and [[Egypt]] – popular requests among fans – are not likely to be featured, as they are considered "boring" and unoriginal for ''Assassin's Creed'' games.<ref>[http://www.latestnewsexplorer.com/ww2-egypt-japan-are-boring-settings-for-ac/ Latest News Explorer: ''Ubisoft: WW2, Egypt & Japan Are 'Boring' Settings For Assassin's Creed'']</ref> He also said that they would refrain from creating trilogies for one single protagonist, like they did for [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]].<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-28-assassins-creed-3-boss-talks-series-future-annualisation-plans-no-more-trilogies Eurogamer: ''Assassin's Creed 3 boss talks series' future, annualisation plans, no more trilogies'']</ref> Following ''Unity'', [[Darby McDevitt]] spoke of the company's intention to bring more focus back onto the series' modern-day storyline for future titles.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-02-27-future-assassins-creed-games-will-have-more-robust-modern-day-than-unity Eurogamer: ''Future Assassin's Creed games will have "more robust modern day" than Unity'']</ref>
