As we know, Assassin's Creed II: Black Flag will not be set only in the time of Edward Kenway: even though because of what happened in the past, there will be more Desmond, the game will still play to this day, within the Abstergo laboratory as the researcher who is investigating the genetic line of Desmond.

But how long will these sections? The Director of development Ashraf Ismail explained that there is a lot to do at Abstergo: hack your computer, introduced in closed rooms, find objects and these activities we will be busy between 3 and 5 hours, depending on how we finish the whole thing.

These are all optional tasks, as long as we have today to plot shall be limited to twenty minutes. Then it's up to us to decide how much focus to the modern setting of the game, obviously hoping that Ubisoft has made interesting enough not to want to return too quickly as the pirate Edward.
