i think that they wouldn't go back in time. They're trying to advance the storyline, not give more background on Altair or Ezio. More than likely if they keep the series at four (originally three) installments, they will have to wrap up the loose ties with Desmond. We saw at the beginning of Assassin's Creed 2 that the Templars weren't using guns anyway.
