Ubisoft ask's where the next Assassin's Creed should be set

[Gmans uncle]

Wait, AC 2012 will be the end of Desmond's story? Wasn't his entire purpose of being to create a framing device to allow Ubisoft to go to all these time periods without breaking continuity or writing themselves into a corner? Without him what will the point be?
Oh, and Egypt, defiantly.

 

[brainslurper]

Samurais. What is more awesome then ninjas, and putting them in an assassins creed game.

 

[dyre]

wait what? I thought the Czar was overthrown by the Russian Republic, which was in turn overthrown by the communists! In any case, I like having guns as secondary weapons in Assassin's Creed, so I don't really want a game dominated by bolt action rifles, regardless of how interesting that period was.

Medieval China seems interesting (though I wonder how the assassin will be related to an Italian guy or an Arabic guy), as does Victorian England

The Tsar atually kind of stepped down and let the Duma have a crack at Democracy while still maintainin his position and a veto if I remember correctly. The Bolsheviks overthrew both and assassinated the royal family. The Provisional government was just in charge until they could figure out exactly what to do.

I would love to see the Russian Revolution just because of how damned anti-climatic it actually was. Moscow and the Duma were seized with minimal bloodshed. I just want to climb to the top of St-Basils and dive off.

ah, I didn't know. I only have a cursory knowledge of the Russian Revolution from AP Euro in high school. Though, wasn't there a war between the Whites (+US and Britain and such) and Reds or something after the Bolsheviks took power?

 

[DarkRyter]

Japan and China would certainly be exotic... But Victorian England would be so boss.

 

[2fish]

Where is my choice for the future when DRM has been outlawed?

Fine, I will choose the invasion of the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors.

 

[Rubashov]

Russian Revolution please. Or American Revolution, but that's less exciting.

 

[Landis963]

It doesn't have to be Desmond as the viewpoint character, esp. since the 2012 AC is explicitly the end of his storyline. That said, I would love for it to be Feudal Japan, esp. since Ninjas can easily be both Templar and Assassin aligned without breaking history too much, and Samurai make wonderful Elite Mooks. If not, (for example if you want to retain the gunplay) then Industrial Revolution Britain would be good. Or if you wanted to delve into the beginnings of the organization SPOILERS you should go into Ancient Rome END SPOILERS.

 

[Fusioncode9]

That list makes me smile. I enjoyed recent AC games but I've been wanting a change in the time period for a while now. I would be satisfied from anything on this list. I think Feudal Japan or the Russian Revolution would be my top picks.

 

[the_hoffs_ego]

Victorian England followed closely by the Russian Revolution. I think that Victorian England is a time period due for some exploration. But the Russian Revolution has some great potential too. I just don't want a Japanese or Chinese AC now... I have nothing at all against the cultures, but I feel that it would seem too out of the way to make sense in the series at the moment. As a spin off, yeah, they'd be cool though.

 

[Pimppeter2]

The motherfucking French Revolution for godsake. Honestly.

Did nobody at Ubisoft take any history classes. The game is MEANT for this period.

 

[Warforger]

None! Set it in the present and wrap up Desmond's story already!

This, we've messed around enough with the past, time to actually continue the friggin story please. After that, I don't mind one bit if Ubisoft keeps churning out pointless expansions.

Assuming of course a game centered around Desmond would be fun at all. I thought Desmond was the worst part of the series and would've preferred if they just made it a game just set in the past, he was only added in to give the targetted audience i.e. teenagers someone to relate to in the story.

The motherfucking French Revolution for godsake. Honestly.

Well Ubisoft is French, but it's made in Ubisoft Montreal so...But I guess they try to not make their company look as foreign as they can and as American as possible.

 

[(whitty name here)]

Tough choice between Communist Revolution, Medieval China, Victorian England, and Fuedal Japan.

I'd absolutely love to play in any of these.

 

[AngryFrenchCanadian]

Russia.

 

[Red Hood]

Pesonally, it would go:
1) The current story line, with Desmond (he has eagle sense, the fighting abilities and the Apple now)
2) The culmination of the Pharaoh Reign in Ancient Egypt (the amount of anarchy alone during that time is more than enough to satify me and the numerous gods within the game would more than quench my thirst for knowledge)
3) Feudal Japan/Meji Restoration era (You get the best of both worlds because this is a time period where the past and the future are literally fighting for dominace, plus I could learn about all the buildings and structures of Japan.)

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

Bring the game back to the Middle East! Assassins Creed is one of the few examples of a game where Middle-Eastern people are the main character and hero of the story! (Yes I know Prince of Persia, but like I said, there are few games like that).

 

[Titan Buttons]

Medieval China
Fudeal Japan
Acient Rome or Victorian England

That is my order of prefrences

 

[gphjr14]

Given all the hints in Revelations I'd be surprised if it wasn't set in China. Marco Polo's father made an appearance as well as Mongols, and Marco Polo ventured to China during the Yuan Dynasty which was ruled by Mongols so it's not hard to create a story where a Han Chinese assassin takes on Mongols.

If they did Japan they could do during the Meiji Restoration.

That or England During the Act of Supremacy when Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church.
Having a degree in history I think there's a lot more interesting periods of history than just Europe and Colonial America.

Have you played to the very end? Because:

Spoiler

Desmond and company will be in the United States at the Vault, as shown in the map during Jupiter's monologue. So, even if the historical section is somewhere else, at the very least DESMOND will be in the United States.

Desmond might but I doubt Ezio will ever see the shores of North America if he does he'll probably die soon given his age. One of the cutscenes with Sofia I believe they showed a map for only a few seconds and you see the outline of the North American Coast which is about right given that by this time America has been discovered but they haven't really explored it yet. Meanwhile the rest of the world is still going full steam with way more source material.

 

[HeatproofShAdOw]

Ohh, please be China, that would be awesome


Only if it didn't the hilarious but terrible (and mildly offensive) chinese accent that plagued Des Ex HR and made me grind the top layer of my teeth away whenever someone spoke

Captcha = didedur wtf?

 

[mysecondlife]

Didn't they promise new Assassin's Creed in 2012? It seems like they're behind schedule if they didn't choose the setting yet.

edit: I choose China. That would be awesome.

 

[FreebirdLegend]

I would definitely go with the communist revolution or feudal japan. Both would be very interesting.
