In an interview with the Examiner, the creative director at Ubisoft Amancio that Alex is working on the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Unity has stated that the series will reboot in narrative, specifically the part devoted to the present day: "it's a new beginning, at least from the narrative point of view. We introduced a completely new context for the timeline set in the present. In Black Flag did you see a sort of evolution, but not do the exact same thing. What we are doing with Unity is really the beginning of a new cycle for the franchise of Assassin's Creed. [...] I would say that Assassin's Creed: Unity is one of the best chapters since the very first game. "
