Hey guys :)

I heard you have something waiting for me, and I just talk about that thread on an interview I gave to AC Univers a couple of days back, so I am very aware of the thread and your concerns.

So first thing first, allow me to give a bit of context, to what I said on reddit AMA. I said that we considered AC Discovery to be non-canon, specificaly for the purpose of the movie development. 

You can all imagine, that we add a lot of draft, and options when it came down to locking a time period. Turns out that we love the Spanish inquisition for multiple reasons, and on top of the characters and historical events, the visual contrast that a colorful period like that could offer to the cold tone of our modern day Abstergo was a great match also.

So when we ended writing different scripts, the question about being tied to AC Discovery came on the table, and I took the shot, choosing between a game we like, and that is part of universe, yet a DS game, not as major or known as the others.

It turns out that nothing was done to harm the franchise, and jeopardize your work (imagine our work on the other hand ;)).

So not only do I respect and love your work guys, I want to thank you for your thoughts, and that second lecture you are offering. Your proposition could fit, and by benchmarking the current movie script (and not the one that made me took this decision months ago), I could say that I don't see any major differences or inconstitancy.

And hereby, (yes I can be formal too :)), I declare that thanks to the light you put on the matter, that AC Discovery should be considered as canon in the AC lore.

Thank you for your dedication, nothing is true, everything is permitted!

Yours, 

Aymar
