Hey, Assassin's Creed fans! It looks like the devs behind Assassin's Creed Shadows have been dropping some hints about where the overarching modern-day narrative is headed. You know, that whole storyline that ties all the historical adventures together? Yeah, that one! It's been a bit of a mystery lately, hasn't it?

For those who might be a little lost, remember that the Assassin's Creed games aren't *just* about running around ancient Japan or Greece. There's always a present-day element, usually involving Abstergo (the Templars in disguise!) and someone reliving the memories of an ancestor through the Animus. How this all fits together has been evolving over the years, and fans have had questions. I, for one, have been wondering what they will do after Basim's story.

Now, it seems the development team has been listening to the community. They've addressed some of those burning questions about the modern-day storyline, offering clues about the future. While they're not giving away any major spoilers (obviously!), they're definitely acknowledging that these plot threads are important and that they have plans for them. It sounds like they are aware that the new game could be a good entrypoint for new players.

Think about it: Assassin's Creed has always been about the balance between the past and the present. The modern-day story provides context, stakes, and a reason for why we're exploring these historical periods in the first place. If you are a long time player, you probably want them to wrap up all the mysteries!

I'm personally excited to see where they take it! Maybe we'll get some more insight into Basim's role or maybe a brand new character will be the focus of the modern day. Whatever happens, it's clear that the team is committed to making the modern-day story a compelling part of the overall Assassin's Creed experience. And that's a win for everyone!
