Which setting are you hoping to see Assassin’s Creed cover (not including Vikings)?
- Thread starter Cosmic Voyager
- Start date
Japan cuz all the weebs want it. Or China. They had ninjas and katanas too, right?
That way they can finally shut up about it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Now that they know how to make good AC games, it's time to revisit that setting.
Instead of chasing the GTA style immense square maps, make it a road trip through parts of the silk road would be great.
I understand making assets of one geographical region is easier, but this would be my dream ass creed game. Like an India secton and a Mongolian steppes sextion would be enough.
i brainstormed the same thing recently. not the silk road in its entirety but middle east to western/central asia would be not so crazy in terms of offering up the massive maps that are standard now. and would be a good way to segue the series into asia per fan demand
This would be really interesting as a setting, but the story there takes place over 110 years, so it might be tricky to manage that within a single game.
Maybe they could introduce a family mechanic that meant you started on 169 CE and handed over to a child character a generation later (or if you died). Could even be a variation of the Nemesis system where one of your first quests as a character would be to avenge your fallen parent.
been waiting on feudal japan since literally AC Revelations.
I remember Ubisoft made a poll about which setting should go next after AC3 and despite Feudal Japan winning, they completely ignored it and did... anything else in the poll BUT japan lol.
They also said they wouldn't do it because it would be boring, but they chose the Independence of the 13 colonies for AC3 so it doesn't really get any more boring than that.

There was a comic that tackled the Mongolian Empire, where Altair's son kills Genghis Khan
AC Vikings was in development before God of War was released.
IIRC they've still insist on not going so far into the future that functioning cars are a thing.
Late 20s aka Golden Twenties Berlin. Around that time Berlin was one of the world's biggest and most exciting cities and arguably the world's cultural center. At the same time it was in big political turmoil following Germany's defeat of WWI and leading into the events that paved the way for the nazis and ultimately WWII.
That setting would be perfect for AC since the 20s are in general a setting that feels still historic but also modern, that's so iconic and interesting and new to AC. Berlin still untouched by WWII was massive and absolutely beautiful, there were lots of historic figures from science, art and politics (Einstein, Marlene Dietrich, Hindenburg...) that even non-Germans should recognize, and the many political factions should make for great opportunities to insert the Assassins, Templars and other AC players in there.
Inb4, "this isn't like what my incredibly idealized idea of Japan is like!!!"
Them not going were vehicles can exist is a pity when there was already carriages in syndicate.There was a comic that tackled the Mongolian Empire, where Altair's son kills Genghis Khan

I really would love new york between 1890 and 1930.
Super wide streets, carriage jacking, and the zipline were already really pushing it when it came to AC. You fundamentally have to rethink the entire AC sandbox when you add vehicles, specifically how a feature like that can completely undermine one of the most important aspects of the game, that being climbing on everything and generally being on foot and/or on horse back to get where you need to go.
I voted Mongolian Empire. The reason i love the AC series is because it's doing settings nobody else does. I don't want Japan (and i know everyone wants it) but we are already getting a ton of games in that setting we aren't getting a lot of games set in Egypt, First Century BCE, 19th century New England or America, go back to london, spain or 19th century Taiwan.
There are countless possibilites that are far more interesting than some samurai shit.

I enjoy climbing but i have to say o actually enjoyed the ziplinig a lot and didnt take off from my normal climbing enjoyment
like with Far Cry i think about this a lot but it gets to the point why not just make a new franchise. especially with asscreed you have some pretty rigid rules to follow with historicity (and, yeah, i'm well aware how "out there" the recent games got with the DLC)
That's totally true. I just mostly want AC traversal in different types of games. I think Ubi could split off a group of devs and make pretty damn good/tight linear game with these mechanics.
I'm all for more Africa and another black protagonist; Origins was very good, but ancient Egypt hardly scratches the surface. Late 19th century Africa during the age of Imperialism is ripe for many different tales from the perspective of the societies who fought to uphold their independence from European colonization. Ethiopia would make sense as the game could feature the Battle of Adwa, and explore the cultural significance of an African nation defeating their white oppressors. My second choice would be India, perhaps starring Arbaaz and Henry if they needed some familiar faces attached to the story.
Gimme 18th century India with all its different competing factions and politics.
Apart from that, I'd love to play one set in China.

Some inspiring ideas here! Interbellum Berlin and Mughal India seem cool.
As for me, The Dutch Revolt and 80 years' war would be awesome. A bit biased as I'm Dutch, but it works so well with all the regular AC trappings.
- Giant empire
- A rebellion
- Sea Beggars could be the assassins
- It created the first republic in Europe after the Middle Ages
- Religion tensions (reformation and freedom of religion)
- Cool events like taking a city with troops hidden in a peat-transport
And just imagine being able to walk around Amsterdam or Antwerp during the golden century.
Instead we're getting vikings :(

I think they'll get around to Rome eventually, so with the next AC almost certainly being cross-gen, for me the question would be, which would you prefer Ubisoft to use as the low-end target hardware for imperial Rome? 2013 chipsets with Jaguar CPUs or 2020 Ryzen chipsets?
Cross-gen should be fine for the Vikings game, but if they do Rome I kind of want them to be looking at more powerful minimum spec hardware.
This. I'm watching My Country on Netflix which takes place at the start of Joseon, intriguing stuff.
yeah would've been a great way to round out the "origins" trilogy (or whatever we're calling it)
but i get why they didn't go there. too same-y after ancient Greece, which considering AC is carrying like a quarter of ubi's annual earnings gotta snazz up the 2020 next gen (technically cross gen) title.
I can't see them doing this for a single game but it'd be a great concept for a trilogy.Instead of chasing the GTA style immense square maps, make it a road trip through parts of the silk road would be great.
