What people are saying
With the release of Requiem this year, I feel like the first 10 years have come to a close, so I think the conclusion will come in the next 10 years.
I can't say, because it would spoil the fun for everyone, but there won't be just one. There will be multiple titles.
The series' story wasn't planned out from the beginning; it expanded with each new game.
