At this point it's like they're actively avoiding from doing a Japan game.
It's daft, it's been consistently asked for since the early days of the franchise

The first next-gen Assassin's Creed game has to be set in Japan right?
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
And it's made by a company that didn't have an executive that turned a blind eye to years of sexual harassment. So yeah, SP beat them to the punch and I'm OK with that.
At this point, I kinda just wish they'd do a modern AC game and wrap the series up. They obviously want to do more fantasy-style games, and distancing those from AC would give them more flexibility in terms of storylines instead of having to make sure they have elements of AC in everything.
Japan has now been done and done better by Sucker Punch and Sony. Would rather see China or India.
Assassin's Creed is the Final Fantasy of the PS3/360 gen. It will never be wrapped up.
What's with this obsession with japan? Is it a weeb thing?
Maybe do a culture of civilization that has been unrepresented in video games:
- mongol
- ottoman
- Indian (before colonization or even during)

There aren't enough games in general set in China's historical past, which is weird, considering it's one of the richest and most influential civilizations of all time. Much of Japanese culture as we know it wouldn't exist without China's influence.
No, but I hope it's somewhere that's not in the west. A AAA AC game in South or East Asia would be amazing, or even West/East Africa. Something truly different ya know.
Texas Revolution is a hell of a pull, but I'm also kinda very into it. Red Dead meets AC. Not sure how'd they'd handle the usual mountains or climbing bits, which Texas in that time lacked. Even lacking any real talk buildings tbh.
Doing a early days Byzantium game could be neat but Constantinople has been done.
A trilogy story based in popular cities around the world in the year 2020..
Game 1 NYC.
Game 2 London.
Game 3 Tokyo..
We already got Ghost of Tsushima, no need to try and reinvent the wheel with that one.
China or Ancient Rome would be cool as well as any other new setting.
How about Russia when the Mongols got there?

Nah, Japan is only up next once the series is in serious decline. It's time to leave europe behind though. China, India and Iran are my prefered settings in that order.
Native american AC game would be wild too. Just imagining them rebuilding all these cultures of mesoamerica is mind blowing to me. For how isolated the natives were they created the most impressive shit.

I was thinking that too. Constantinople has been done, but it was still in the "junior" scale of the 360-era AC games. That's why I'd be fine with revisiting any of the settings used in those early titles. The realistic scale changed everything starting with AC: Unity
im gonna go with buck the trend, make a futuristic Assassin's Creed in world that's controlled by abstergo... get into all that crazy eden tech/alien shit that they only scratched the surface on
so it'd be like Cyberpunk/Mirror's Edge/Horizon i guess... which is exactly why i believe it will happen lol

This would be amazing. I was just talking with a friend about a Horizon game based in Sub-Saharan Africa but AC would be great too.
I love japan for weeb and non-weeb aspects.
And I have zero interest in an AC game in Japan. There are just too many other games that already provide that.
China...Persia...Russia though? I would like that.
Or even back in the CRUSADES. 1 was far too narrow in scope to really appreciate the setting.
Japan is the last place I want them to go. I'd rather see Delhi around the time of the Indian Rebellion or Haiti during the revolution or Beijing during the Boxer rebellion. Or do another more naval-heavy game and set it primarily around Mombasa and the Swahili coast in the 14th, 15th or 16th century. Or go to Peru and have it set during the Inca empire, I mean playing as a chasqui would make so much sense. Honestly, thinking of possible AC settings is like a pastime to me. There are so many unique and interesting possibilities so I'd be really disappointed if we got one set in Japan.
Out of curiosity since I stopped playing the series. Does assasins creed still follow a coherent story that the originals set up? Does the story arc continue to be engaging in any a fulfilling way? Its always a very interesting concept to me that I wish took a different direction in game play and story.
Please don't. How about a period in the other 1988 years of German history for once?
If anything Berlin in the 20s would be an amazing setting for an AC in Germany. Berlin back then was at the very hight of culture, science and political turmoil in the world.
A setting in the Kingdom of Kush during the times of Old Kingdom Egypt would be cool too... A Nubian story.
