Magnus Immmortalis: Please talk in normal English. It is this Wiki's accepted language, and frankly, I have no idea what you said last.

Also, it is a sequel in the sense that the modern day story always moves forward. Any of the ancestor settings, are within the modern day story. So yes, it is a sequel. And Tranquil is correct on Desmond's DNA being collected, but that doesn't rule out the possibility that they found another descendant of Kenway's to put in the Animus. Seems unlikely though, but there is no need to deal in absolutes yet.
