User blog comment:D. Cello/Assassinews 01/17 -- ACW New Admin, key Ubisoft figure leaves AC/@comment-189.174.155.233-20120122211903/@comment-3058930-20120123160123

The reason for Ezio retiring as an Assassin wasn't half bad. However, the relationship was done horridly. No chemistry between these two characters whatsoever. I think around August last year, not entirely sure, Ubi promised us some character development for Ezio. Something to do with him showing a lot of regret about how he has lived his life. Empty promise. Only because he's badass does not make him an interesting character, Ubisoft.
