Assassin's Creed Revelations Will Give Altaïr Closure
Ubisoft 'laments' giving first game proper conclusion.
Did you have a bit of a fit when you realised that Altaïr Ibn la-Ahad got a bit of a dodge ending in the first Assassin's Creed game? Well, rage no more because Ubisoft Montreal's writer Darby McDevitt has promised that the upcoming Revelations will give Altaïr's story "a proper conclusion."
"In order to wake up, Desmond [Miles, the comatose present-day assassin that controls the past-time protagonists] must fix his fragmented mind by living through key moments in history in search of an alignment between himself, Ezio [Auditore] and Altaïr," McDevitt said.
"This key moment, this nexus, is the way out of his comatose state, so he will have to navigate his subconscious in order to escape." The writer explained that the studio had an opportunity to highlight Ezio's leadership issues as a contrast to Altaïr's experience as a mentor. Which sounds like a good way of talking your way out of naffing up the ending to Assassin's Creed really, but then McDevitt is a bit more acknowledging.
"We are just as fond of Altaïr as many of the fans are, and have always lamented the fact that his story did not get a proper conclusion. So this is it. If you, like so many others, are dying to know what happened to Altaïr when he returned to the Apple for 'one last look' - as the final page of his codex states - you will have your answers soon."

Still playing Brotherhood, so no spoilers please, but wouldn't it be great if Altair using the Apple is what allowed Desmond to see his ancestors in the Animus?

I'd like to see Altair wearing the Armour of Altair that was in AC2, like we saw Ezio Wearing, why put it in the game, knowing it was the Armour of Altair, if he isnt going to be seen wearing it, an of course see Altair at least with some upgraded new weapons of his own
