Video Interview - Storytelling in Assassin's Creed Revelations

Alexandre Amancio shares his thoughts on storytelling, gameplay, and how Revelations will set the stage for Assassin's Creed III.

Assassin's Creed Revelations is a big game. It's so big, in fact, that the game has six different Ubisoft studios working together in order to complete the game by this November. Behind those hundreds of Ubisoft employees is a guiding creative principle -- a single person whose job it is to coordinate all the game's creative output into a meaningful whole.

For Revelations, that task falls to Alexandre Amancio. Amancio joined Ubisoft as art director on the gorgeous Far Cry 2, but his interests began to evolve towards design in more recent years. Upon our visit to Ubisoft Montreal, we had the opportunity to sit down with Amancio and talk with him about his most ambitious project to date -- serving as creative director on Assassin's Creed Revelations.

In this first video, Amancio discusses the challenges and rewards of developing the new game. What is involved in coordinating the creative output for a game built in six different places around the world?

@Kit572 yea i just found out aha but I do think the next AC game will take place during the American revolution because they are in New York and it was part of the 13 colonies

[Kit572]

@iYayyo The library was in masyaf, they are somewhere outside new york.

Wait so is there going to be another assassin in the next AC cus I thought is was going to be desmonds turn now *spoiler* at the end of ACR it shows ezio takes his hidden blade and sword and just leaves it where the apple of Eden usto been and right were desmond wakes up they are were ezio was kinda I think in the library

[SSSROCK47]

[D10JESTER]

[Hal0dude46]

I wonder what happens to AC when the world doesn't end in a year.

[hahaiamnotfunny]

@DillonStanfordTV That is some good yogurt!, Where did you get it?

[Metalord874]

Put an easy/normal/hard mode i the game. Where in the beginning you die in one or 2 hits playing it on hard.

[Metalord874]

Make the AC games harder!!!! I don´t use any armor and still I´m overpowered. No medicin, no help at all. And still kicks ass. Or I´m just very good at this game :D Still one of my fave franchise. This and skyrim was my top game of the year. And I have tried a few.

I love how they hyped this up so much, and then it sucked when it came out. What I lov even more ... I bought it into it. Wow... All I learned from revelations that I didn't know before is that William is Desmond's father. And I already guessed that predictable, annoying piece of information.
