Assassin's Creed has always struggled with the desire to tell a coherent story with a meaningful end vs riding this gravy train until it crashes. They really sabotaged themselves when they decided to start stringing the series along with new characters and new premise gimmicks. I think Origins/Odyssey/game after that are supposed to be a trilogy but what comes after that is unclear.
I do wish Ubisoft would send the series out on a high with some a final game that blows away series expectations, and with an ending that firmly closes the door, instead of making more and more games until they eventually don't sell well enough an then retiring them. That just becomes sad.
Even though they spun their wheels for a while, the AC series has continued to move towards a conclusion. But they have to reach it at some point. They can't drag it out FOREVER. That would be just insulting. If they don't end the series, they're gonna need to come along with a twist at the end of the trilogy that changes everything. Something crazy like becoming trapped in the past, or trapped in a nightmarish simulation of reality. Go full Alan Wake or some shit. Make a survival horror game starring Layla or something. There's nothing wrong with giving the market what it wants (more games like AC: Origins, basically) but you can't do it indefinitely.
