User blog comment:Master Sima Yi/Patrice Désilets leaves Ubisoft once again/@comment-5150860-20130509111038/@comment-1153722-20130510223833

Patrice finished his work on Brotherhood, and I'm not sure if the game had an eight month production time. To my knowledge they started working on it right after they finished with Assassin's Creed II; Revelations had the shortest production time.

Even if gameplay-wise the last two games may have been flawed, I'm very positive over their story, which is the reason I'm still hopeful for the series.
