The first next-gen Assassin's Creed game has to be set in Japan right?

- Start date
You may be up to something here...
Not only Mexico, all of Central and South America as well could provide different settings/areas, while still being under a narrow scope/timeline umbrella.
Moscow could be an option. Imperial Rome. A US city in the early 1900's could be cool. Beijing, Baghdad, I'm sure there's a few others.
That would be awesome if you were a resistance fighter.
Assassin's Creed: Conquest.
Going back a bit to the "one big city" approach of the earlier games in eth series, set in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan as the Spanish invade. Cortes is a Templar interested in the city because he believes a Piece of Eden is hidden inside a temple. The player, as an Aztec assassin, must stop him before he obtains it.

Yeah, I don't want one. I used to, but GoT did it so well from a gameplay perspective(AI is a different story) that I would almost certainly be disappointed unless Ubisoft just competently cribs their gameplay(which based on all evidence they would be unsuccessful at doing).
I'd prefer China, India, Russia, ancient cultures that get very little play. Hell, I would be cool if they just came up with some hogwash inter-dimensional theory and started creating entirely fantasy-based settings or alt-history(like if Carthage had conquered Rome and became the pre-eminent power, exploring what a world like that might be like), that build their own lore and such. They play so loose with history as it is that they might as well just embrace it.
my thoughts exactly...give me
Assassin's Creed Sumerian Empire
and blow peoples minds...will never happen though, the subject is fascinating
Aztec Assassin's Creed would be my next choice..
Mexico is North America :P
I think that having these amazing ancient civilisations but with the backdrop of the Europeans invading is very much along the lines of the classic AC games. Somewhere between the original game and Origins/Odyssey.
Also so much scope for beautiful colourful ancient temples and stuff that don't exist anymore.
Why would you want this when GoT exists?
There are so many other interesting settings to explore. Mesoamerican societies, Russian revolution, India during Britain's colonialism, Neo-Babylonia during the captivity of the Jewish people, Iberia during the muslim conquest, so many different time periods in Africa...

I'm probably in the minority but I always wanted a AC set in modern times, or maybe in the future or in that alien civilization the appears on Revelations (that last part may have been a fever dream I played that game a long ass time ago, but I'm pretty sure that was some kind of advanced civilization in the lore)
Definitely prefer China to Japan as, as many have said Ghost has filled that void and we will get another Ghost game most likely.
Edit: I also want just a massive city more than a big open world regardless of location, not that Origins and especially Odyssey didn't have some big cities, they just aren't the same really as when it's just a big massive city.

While I wouldn't be disappointed to see them take a crack at the setting, I think there are better time periods or locations they could use -- Ones that haven't really been given attention in games before. With GoT having just released (along with other games set in Japan) recently, I think that AC should begin to look elsewhere. GoT is likely to receive a sequel as well, so there's no need for two large open world games set in similar time periods. I would love to see AC tackle a location and time period that no one has done in games before (or has seldom been done), with their next entry
I agree, one of the Mesoamerican civilizations could be interesting too.
Imperial Rome is still the one I'm waiting on, but I'll trust whatever else they do.
Edit: Hmm. After reading some posts, India would be next on my list. The setting and scale would be great. There are also a lot of mythical elements that they could use.

AC Odyssey/modern day AC spoilers:
I think they should follow Cassandra in modern times. That was a pretty cool reveal when she showed up and gave the staff of Hermes to the modern day assassin woman, it would be fun to play with an existing character in a new time line. Have her and Evie Frye meet during WW1 or something
I'd still like to see a Japan game for the series, even with GoT now being a thing, but as I've seen others mention I'd still really like to see Ubi revisit the settings in the side scrolling games in China, India, and Russia. Give me actual open world experiences with them.
Also, I can't stop thinking and wondering about a game set in the Wild West. It'd inevitability be compared to Red Dead, but I don't know the idea of an AC game set in the Wild West just really intrigues me.

Nah don't want Japan.
I had similar thoughts about WW2.
Saboteur withing the third reich. Perhaps a good setting would a campaign against the v2 program.

This so much. I'd love to see ac do another huge, densely populated city.
Maybe it is, but I want some melee, parkour Ac action on present day not a 3rd person shooter.
But Watch Dogs is probably a good reason why they won't do it, WD is already scratching that modern action game market itch.
They kind of did that with Syndicate and playing as Jacob's granddaughter Lydia during WW1 in London. Obviously they could do more with that setting, and though WW2 is used a lot in games I'd still like to get an AC game during that time as well.
Yeah, an Assassin's Creed in Japan would just feel like a super janky version of Ghost of Tsushima with some Nonsens-Animus-Story.
I will just wait for Ghost of Tsushima instead :)

We just got a feudal Japan AC game, haven't we?
Imperial Rome is where it's at (no, Origins doesn't count).

I didn't play the colonial America one - I seem to remember that the character was part indigenous no?
Regardless, I didn't play it and I would love a lovingly made game (though probably not an AC) about some of the indigenous groups in America prior to colonization. That would be so fucking rad.

This. No way the game would even get close to GoT so just go another route.
I get the feeling it'll be set in the Indian Rebellion of 1857
That setting is perfect for the templar vs assassin conflict.
