What are some unorthodox or obscure Assassin's Creed settings you would like to see?

[Cosmic Voyager]

By unorthodox or obscure, I mean eras that aren't glaringly obvious or highly-requested, like Imperial Rome, Vikings, Feudal Japan, Feudal China, etc.

History is full of so many cool and interesting time periods, which lesser-known ones would you like to see featured in an Assassin's Creed game one day?

 

[ILikeFeet]

Khmer Empire AssCreed

 

[makonero]

I would love to see Mongolia and meet Genghis Khan.

 

[Jessie]

Pre-colonial America

 

[Septy]

Mongols

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

Civil War-era AC. Have Lincoln be a former Assassin or some shit. John Wilkes Booth could be a Templar descendant. All the CW-era military leaders could be rolled into the AC mythos.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Late 19C New Orleans.

 

[King Kingo]

The British Raj era (1858-1947).

[Xeonidus]

Vietnam during Mongol invasion. Or during French Colonialism. I'm bias though lol

 

[HiLife]

Assassins Creed in present day 2020.

 

[Squid Icarus]

I'd like the Middle Ages setting back, but this time, in a good game.

Then again, AC has lost me with its departure to Origins and Odyssey.

 

[UnluckyKate]

I would love to see Mongolia and meet Genghis Khan.

That would be totally rad : make it like the original AC, a huge vast steps and very different cities of various origins to explore : chinese cities, persian cities, mongolian cities...

 

[Sargerus]

Mayan Pre-Columbian.

 

[McScroggz]

If I had my druthers I would make it in ancient Mesopotamia and play around with the Tower of Babel story. First true civilization, but add in political intrigue as well as outside forces. The big idea though is to have a World or Ruin moment where halfway through the game whoever the villain/villains are they "win" and now the game State is changed and there are splintered smaller civilizations warring with each other and you have to deal with that before you can even truly deal with the real baddies.

Africa. Non-Egypt Africa. Shit with Jungles. An African Assassins Creed set in the 16th Century right as the Slave Trade gets going could be rad. Or take it back even further and have a AAA African Action Game without the White Man being involved. I love Egypt, and know it's part of Africa, but damn if I'm not hurting to see some heart of Africa assassinations.

I'd love to see one set in Russia, too.

 

[Fisty]

There was enough occult bullshit and internal strife in Nazi Germany to be fruitfully mined by AC. We really just need more open world Nazi-murdering games

 

[Kopite]

Biased but either Malacca Sultanate or somewhere in India.

 

[defaltoption]

Nazi Germany and Southern Africa (picture like a Zulu Warrior)

 

[Platy]

Mayan Pre-Columbian.

This

or Colonial brazil

 

[Rotobit]

The Cold War

Would be a drastic departure in terms of gameplay but at this point I wouldn't be opposed to it incorporating guns and the like, so long as they lean way more heavily into the espionage side of things.

Also somehow incorporate the space race, that'd be an awesome setpiece.

 

[Billfisto]

80's Hong Kong or 70's Japan.

 

[Pankratous]

I'm bad at history so I have no specific time period or even century in mind, but like, medieval Britain.

 

[AndyD]

I'd like to see small European castles, countryside, cottages. But a dark take on it, like a vampire version at night only.

 

[SanTheSly]

I want to see a futuristic Blood Dragon style take on the series with a bunch of dumb gadgets. Just really have fun with the franchise for a single outing.

 

[Andrew J]

Spanish-American wars of independence, perhaps? Maybe it turned out Simon Bolivar really was assassinated because he was going to join the Templars!

 

[MrConbon210]

The first civilization era which we are always shown glimpses of but never get to play in.

 

[Titik]

Anything on the Indian subcontinent or one of the empires in Southeast Asia.

Indochina, archipelagic SEA etc are all wholly underrepresented in media except for maybe Thailand. They could do it during the arrival of the Europeans and how the region became a battle ground between Arabs and Hindu influence. You'd be dealing with various sultanates, Indianized kingdoms and native city states like the barrangays of thePhilippines as well as Ming China in the background.

 

[More_Badass]

Ancient Aztec civilization

 

[Brood]

Angkor Wat.
Mayan civilization.
Arkaim civilization.

 

[Yossarian]

Casablanca
A train
Hell

 

[EarlGreyHot]

Nazi Germany could be interesting

17th century Netherlands (wasn't this in the works at some point?)

 

[TheXbox]

Russian Revolution. Petersburg, Moscow, Siberian wilderness... could be an incredible open world if built to the same standards as Origins and Odyssey. Of course, the period is also rife with bloodshed and upheaval, which the series has historically thrived on.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Hmm anything in historical South East Asia or Africa would be great and are in general pretty underused settings.

 

[Dr Pears]

Olde Neo Tokyo

 

[DaciaJC]

I'd like the Middle Ages setting back, but this time, in a good game.

Agreed, I'd love nothing more than a return to the High Middle Ages.

Came in to post this. Excellent first post. Imagine climbing around Ankgor Wat...

 

[Mentalist]

Every time this topic comes up, my answer is the same: Medieval India, around the time of first contacts with Europe (the Portuguese invasion/colonization)

You have a sub-continent split into a whole bunch of polities, with different ethnicities, and religions, and a brand new powerful player barging in to upset everything. Plus ongoing incursions from Central Asia on the other side.

Picking your sides in this free for all, dealing with missions that are dynamically generated based on how your actions increase or decrease the power of a particular state, while trying to root out conspiracies in the Templar vs. Assassin conflict... there's a lot Ubi can do with this.

 

[Axon]

How about Post-Apocalypse? Could be a very interesting take.

 

[bane833]

Medieval Europe
Middle-/South America during the era of the conquistadores or earlier
another take at the crusades
Russia during the Revolution

 

[Vault]

Sikh Confederacy

 

[Mozendo]

Mesoamerica for sure.
I was so bummed that the next AC dealt with vikings

 

[RPTGB]

Peaky Blinders-era Brummigem, bab.

 

[TaySan]

Brigham Young era Utah would be interesting. :)

 

[Gevurztraminer]

Sounds like metal gear solid really.

Personally, ancient Indonesia/PNG would make a cool setting for AC. Could stretch to Southeast Asia and northern Australia too

 

[JeffDunhamsPeanut]

You play as 'Jehovah's Witness'. You have two main mission types:
1 - you stand and wait for interlocutor near streets, crossroads, etc. You can teleport between any points in map, but if your target sees you, he will immediately suspect you are evil, as Jehova's Witnesses doesn't move from place to place
2 - you got from door to door and try to find your target. If you fail, you will bre presented with speach test. Failing will force you to run to your base of operations

 

[poofynamanama2]

INDIA

 

[fog]

As a member of the Resistance fighting the Nazis during World War 2.

I enjoyed The Saboteur and that has a lot of Ubi /Assassins Creed gameplay elements already.

 

[Canucked]

I'm ready for something different. An assassin's creed with different technology.

New York in the 80s would be cool.
Montreal.
