On Twitter, Assassin’s Creed IV game director Ashraf Ismail commented on a couple of important topics.
First, when it comes to cinematics, Ismail said that the new game will tell its story through gameplay more than before. The tweet came in response to a fan who felt that Assassin’s Creed III relied on cutscenes too much.
Ismail also tackled a question regarding Assassin’s Creed IV’s length. It will take players 15-20 hours to complete, but to see and do everything, you’ll need to spend roughly 60-80 hours on the game.
