Future Assassin's Creed games could well feature two playable characters again

As was already the case in Syndicate, Assassin's Creed Shadows offers two playable characters. This is a formula loved by some and hated by others, and Ubisoft may well continue down this path.
During an interview with GamesRadar, associate director Simon Lemay-Comtois discussed the future of the franchise. While he didn't say so with 100% certainty, he believes that future games could easily feature two protagonists.
"Dual protagonists can be divisive along very strange lines, right? It's not just a 'well, I prefer a war, therefore I prefer Yasuke.' Some people just don't like one character over the other, and they don't like to spend time with one. It was true with Evie and Jacob, but with Naoe and Yasuke it's more divisive. And we knew this. We knew going into it, but I think it can split our fan base a little too.*
I think the learning for us is that, yes, we could do more dual-protagonist games in the future – if we have a good reason to do it narratively and for the setting."
Finally, Simon Lemay-Comtois added that his teams are keen to advance the parkour gameplay in future Assassin's Creed games.
